Roasted Cabbage #recipe by Mia P. Manansala @MPMtheWriter

Cabbage is my favorite vegetable. A rather boring choice for many, but I love the versatility of the vegetable, and it’s delicious, crisp sweetness (plus it’s frugal price tag and long shelf life) means it shows up fairly often on my dinner table. This is a new preparation for me, one I tested at Christmas lunch with my family and that I love enough to keep in constant rotation.

Roasted Cabbage Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 head of cabbage
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Red pepper flakes, optional
• Lemon slices, optional

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Slice the cabbage into thin wedges and remove and discard the hard core.
3. Rinse the cabbage wedges well and pat dry.
4. Lay on a baking sheet and spray/drizzle with oil and season with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes (if using).
5. Flip the wedges over and do the same to the other side.
6. Slide the baking tray into the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the tray, flip the wedges over and return to the pan for another 15-20 minutes.
8. If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cabbage. Enjoy! 

NOTE: an interesting variation is to add a drizzle of soy sauce as well. Soy sauce and cabbage go so well together!

Slice cabbage thickly, wash, and pat dry on paper towels before laying on a baking sheet.

Spray or drizzle with olive oil.

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Flip cabbage slices over and oil and season the other side as well.

Roast in a 450 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15-20 minutes. Flip the slices and roast for another 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and squeeze lemon juice over the cabbage. Enjoy!

Homicide and Halo-Halo (February 8, 2022)

Death at a beauty pageant turns Tita Rosie’s Kitchen upside down in the latest entry of this witty and humorous cozy mystery series by Mia P. Manansala. Things are heating up for Lila Macapagal. Not in her love life, which she insists on keeping nonexistent despite the attention of two very eligible bachelors. Or her professional life, since she can’t bring herself to open her new café after the unpleasantness that occurred a few months ago at her aunt’s Filipino restaurant, Tita Rosie’s Kitchen. No, things are heating up quite literally, since summer, her least favorite season, has just started. To add to her feelings of sticky unease, Lila’s little town of Shady Palms has resurrected the Miss Teen Shady Palms Beauty Pageant, which she won many years ago—a fact that serves as a wedge between Lila and her cousin slash rival, Bernadette. But when the head judge of the pageant is murdered and Bernadette becomes the main suspect, the two must put aside their differences and solve the case—because it looks like one of them might be next.
