Cabbage will be even tastier if you add 3 surprise ingredients while cooking

Vegetables can be very boring to cook, and even more boring to eat, with some greens being cast aside at every meal. If you're lacking inspiration, Maldon Salt recently shared how your cabbage never has to be boring again.

In a recent video collaboration with Ed Cudlipp, better known as Cud Cooks on TikTok, the brand shared how you can completely transform a bland cabbage. All you have to do is add a few surprise ingredients. Ed said: "This is hands down the best thing you can do with a cabbage."

Instead of boiling cabbage, Maldon Salt has charred and roasted the vegetable to bring out its natural earthy flavours. However, there's another addition you should be adding to your cabbage to take it to the next level: smoked salt and miso butter.

Ed said: "It's a perfect side dish or roast, and it only takes 30 minutes."

He described the dish as: "Smoky, savoury, and rich with umami - this simple side dish turns humble cabbage into something genuinely special. Charred hispi cabbage is basted in golden miso butter, finished with fresh lime, and brought to life with Maldon's Smoked Sea Salt.

"A flavour bomb of smoke, tang, and depth. This is a perfect side dish, or a veggie alternative for a roast."

The recipe video has already been viewed over 631,300 times, receiving 31,100 likes and 235 comments. Fraser said: "Mate, I'm almost embarrassed to be so enthusiastic about this dish but I had all the ingredients so knocked it up in about half an hour earlier. Oh my goodness. The miso paste in with the butter is genius. Thank you so much."

Pete & Gerry's Eggs wrote: "Cabbage glow up of the year."

Another commented, "Oh my days!! What a delicious combination," while Sup suggested, "Seems like Brussels Sprouts would work here too."

Henry agreed: "Anything would taste amazing with that sauce."

So if you're struggling with making cabbage exciting, here is how you can recreate the recipe at home.

Ingredients

• One whole hispi cabbage
• 80g unsalted butter, softened
• One tbsp miso paste
• ½ a lime, juice and zest
• Maldon Smoked Sea Salt

Method

Slice one whole hispi cabbage in half lengthways. Heat some olive oil in a pan.

Fry cut-side down over high heat for four to five minutes until deeply browned and charred. Transfer to a 200°C oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes until tender.

Meanwhile, make the miso butter: mix the softened unsalted butter with the miso paste, the juice and zest of half a lime, and a generous pinch of Maldon Smoked Sea Salt.

Return the cooked cabbage to the pan, add a large spoonful of miso butter, and baste until glossy and caramelised. Finish with extra miso butter, lime juice, lime zest, and another pinch of Maldon Smoked Sea Salt.
