3 tbsp olive oil, divided
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup bone broth
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
1 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
4 sprigs fresh thyme
¾ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the cabbage through the core into 6 to 8 wedges, keeping the core intact on each wedge so the leaves hold together.
2
Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet or braiser over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the cabbage wedges cut-side down in a single layer, working in batches if needed, and sear undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the cut face is deep golden brown. Flip and sear the second cut side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden, then transfer the seared wedges to a plate.
