Seared Red Cabbage Wedges

Nice, easy recipe for making a surprisingly good side dish.  I like eating cabbage but usually not sure how to make it other than steamed or in a slaw.   This recipe is a nice change.

1 small head of red cabbage, cut in 8 wedges, core intact so that the wedges stay together
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (more as needed)
Salt and freshly ground pepper

1. Heat the a heavy cast iron pan or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat til hot. When it is very hot, add oil and place as many cabbage wedges as will fit in one layer in the pan. Cook for three to five minutes until golden brown on one side. Using tongs or a spatula, turn over and cook on the other side until tender, nicely browned and crispy on the edges, about five minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper, and serve hot.  You can also serve with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, with a dollop of mayo, spoon of Aoili or your favorite salad dressing.

Yield: Serves six to eight.
