I crave veggies like some people crave chocolate or meat. If you can relate, you must try this roasted cabbage with Parmesan cheese and anchovies recipe. It’s extremely easy to make and surprisingly satisfying. In fact, I could probably finish the whole dish in one sitting.
Roasted cabbage with Parmesan cheese and anchovies is rich with umami and the leaves literally melt in your mouth. Enjoy it straight up or alongside focaccia, pasta or roast chicken.
And when you’re hungry for more, try your hand at Give it Some Thyme’s daikon salad. I promise it tastes as good as it looks.
