Ingredients
FOR THE CHIMICHURRI LENTILS:
220ggreen lentilsor ¾ cup lentils cooked dry according to package instructions
2Cupsparsleyor mixed with other herbs of your choice, such as cilantro or basil
1kgWhite cabbagePreferably as fresh as possible, as the fresher the more tender it will be on the grill, Note: the white cabbage can vary in weight and does not necessarily have to weigh exactly 1 kilogram
FOR THE CHIMICHURRI LENTILS, boil the lentils if necessary or if using canned lentils, drain and like to soak in cold water for a few more minutes. Rinse thoroughly and set aside.
220 g green lentils
Provide a blender (I use the Magimix in this case), otherwise use a blender that can work well without liquid. Add parsley, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, olive oil and hot chili sauce and blend until a sauce is formed. The sauce in this case does not have to be super fine and can remain a little coarser. Mix with the lentils and set aside.
2 Cups parsley, 2 Piece Garlic cloves, 30 ml Lemon juice, ½ TL Salt, 15 ml Olive oil, 1 TL hot chili sauce
FOR THE TAHINI SAUCE provide a bowl, put tahini, maple syrup, salt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and water and stir with a whisk until a smooth sauce is formed. Season to taste, place in the refrigerator and let rest.
15 ml maple syrup, ½ TL Salt, 15 ml Lemon juice, ½ TL Dijon mustard, 60 ml Water for dilution, 30 g Tahini
FOR THE STEAKS provide a grill tray or board. Cut the cabbage into 1-1.5cm thick slices. Place cabbage steaks in grill pan and brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper, salt and BBQ seasoning of choice.
1 kg White cabbage, Olive oil for brushing, Pepper to taste, Salt to taste, BBQ spice of your choice
Preheat grill and grill steaks for 5 minutes on each side. NOTE: To flip the steaks, it is best to use a flat spatula and not grill tongs. The outer cabbage leaves can easily fall off. If necessary, fix with a barbecue skewer.
Place steaks on a large platter, arrange chimichurri lentils, pour tahini sauce on top and garnish with sesame seeds, chili flakes and parsley. Best fresh!
