Roasted Cabbage with Roquefort

Roasted Cabbage with Roquefort is a serious upgrade to your average cabbage side. In fact, it’s so flavorful it’s almost enough to be a meal on it’s own. Last year, for St. Patrick’s Day, I served roasted cabbage as a side to accompany my Lamb and Eggplant Shepard’s Pie. This year, I made some incredible mushroom sliders with this Roasted Cabbage with Roquefort cheese that blew the roast cabbage out of the water and replaced it as the perfect side to the Shepard’s Pie. I recommend pairing the brie with the green cabbage and the blue with the red cabbage. And if you like intense flavor, then the red and blue’s the way to go. It’s perfect with the full-bodied Lamb and Eggplant Shepard’s pie.

Since I already made the brioche for the pulled pork, it’s nice to pick another sandwich that guests can serve themselves. This way I’m watching the commercials and not waiting on my friends. I pile a plate high with all the components and set it next to the crockpot of pulled pork and basket of fresh brioche rolls. This way people can eat when they like. Or they can just snack on the other treats on the menu. Either way, these Mushroom Sliders will disappear so make sure you get one before the party gets started. And don’t wait for the Super Bowl to make these Mushroom Sliders; they’re great during BBQ season, too. … Continue reading
