What goes with Pointed Cabbage?
Pointed cabbage forms a tapering head of closely layered but relatively delicate leaves. The green outer folds have a firmer bite than the pale heart, and the central core needs trimming even when the leaves are tender. The flesh is lightly sweet and juicy, with a restrained mustard-like edge. Its thin tips scorch faster than its thick base cooks.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Pointed Cabbage?
A browned wedge suits salty bacon, nutty cheese or a crunchy grain topping because its layers carry fat while retaining vegetable sweetness. Mustard or tart apple provides a sharper finish. When using a substantial bean or tempeh filling, cut across the leaves so they wrap without long strings and leave enough cabbage visible to contribute a tender, juicy bite.
