Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 2 1/2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons no-salt-added ketchup
- 1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 small head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallion for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, whisk together pineapple juice, tamari, brown sugar, ketchup, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, and cook until slightly reduced for about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside 1 tablespoon for serving.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F).
4. Trim the stem end of the cabbage and cut the head lengthwise into 4 (1-inch-thick) slices.
5. Thread a skewer through the middle of each cabbage slice, removing any loose outer leaves.
6. Brush both sides of the cabbage slices evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with pepper.
7. Oil the grill grates with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
8.
9. Grill the cabbage, covered, until tender for about 8 minutes per side, brushing the flip side with the remaining sauce.
10. Transfer the cabbage to a platter and carefully remove the skewers.
11. Spoon the reserved sauce evenly over each cabbage slice (about 1 teaspoon each).
12. Sprinkle with scallion (if using) and serve hot.
Tip:
To reduce sticking, oil your hot grill rack with an oil-soaked paper towel. Hold the paper towel with tongs and rub it over the rack. Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.
