Cabbage is a much maligned vegetable, but I love it; these roasted Savoy cabbage "steaks" are a delicious and simple way to do something a little different with it.
Cut the cabbage in half, making sure you cut right through the root and heart. Then cut two 25-35mm (1-1½") slices off each half, making sure you keep the root to hold the slices together. Keep the offcuts for a different dish.
Mix together the fennel seeds, olive oil and sherry vinegar in a bowl, then coat the cabbage slices on both sides using a pastry brush. Pay particular attention to the outer leaves.
Sprinkle the cabbage with the sea salt on both sides.
Place the cabbage slices on a roasting tray and cover them with tin foil.
Roast in the oven at 170°C or 340°F for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and roast for a further 45-50 minutes until golden and the heart is tender.
