Golden Charred Cabbage with pomegranate

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the garlic in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the charred cabbage and let it golden, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the vegetable stock along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the crushed tomatoes and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
