Charred Cabbage with Hazelnuts & Chili Butter

Charred Cabbage with Hazelnuts & Chili Butter is a decadent, deeply delicious side dish. The cabbage becomes fork-tender and smells amazing. It is inspired by Yasmin Khan’s cookbook Ripe Figs, but I have added lemon zest and lemon juice for brightness. Feel free to experiment with varieties of cabbage.
