Blistered Charred Cabbage with smoked paprika

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the scallions in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the charred cabbage and let it blistered, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the brown sugar along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the cream and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a knob of butter and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
