evil_gop_liars Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 This is one of my all time favorite summer BBQing dishes. 1 large head of cabbage (green) 1 pound of sausage. I prefer ground hot Italian. Cilantro about 1/4 cup...give or take. (chopped) 1 red onion (diced) 1 Stick of butter (melted) 1 lime. Hollow out cabbage. This is more difficult than it seems, just remember you have to fit a pound of sausage and a whole red onion in there. One trick I do after hollowing it out, is cut from the top to about half way down in large pie shape wedges. In a skillet cook sausage. Take a mixing bowl add sausage, diced onion, cilantro and butter. Mix well and stuff the cabbage. Once stuffed cut lime in half and squeeze lime juice over mixture. Wrap cabbage in tin foil. Put cabbage on grill over indirect heat. It will take a while for cabbage to cook so start it before you cook anything else. To serve I usually finish cutting wedges and toss it in a bowl.

Swampnuts Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Cabbage is welfare food. I can't take the smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big F'n Dave Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Pretty dam tasty. The cabbage can be a beeyotch to hollow out. Couldn't get all of the stuffing in, so added the remainder after I took the cabbage off. All I could get around here was the Johnsonville Italian sausage, but they worked well. The cilantro set it off. Can't wait for the inevitable cabbage flatulence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big F'n Dave Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) Did this again yesterday, but didn't use the butter. Plenty of fat from the sausage to keep the cabbage moist. Tasty. Edited April 1, 2007 by Big F'n Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 OK... a little help here on hollowing out the cabbage. Do you work on this from the stem end, or from the top? While removing the stem end would make it tend to fall apart, the aluminum foil should keep it together, no? This sounds pretty good, I'd like to try it.

Big F'n Dave Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 OK... a little help here on hollowing out the cabbage. I work from the stem end. Cut it out as much as you can and then use an ice cream scoop to hollow out the inside. Never had a problem with it falling apart. I've never hollowed it out enough that it would hold all of the sausage/onion mixture, so I mix the remainder with the cabbage I scooped out and throw it all together at the end. The uncooked cabbage adds a little crunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wrap it in foil because your basically steaming the cabbage over the indirect heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 How about a rough estimate on the time it takes to cook the cabbage? I think I'll try this over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big F'n Dave Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Bump because I did this again last weekend and it still f'n rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Oven Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 How about a rough estimate on the time it takes to cook the cabbage? I think I'll try this over the weekend. +1. Time and temp on the grill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big F'n Dave Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I did mine over indirect heat, about 350 degrees for about an hour and fifteen minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
