Ingredients

  • 1 small red cabbage (about 900g/2lb), cut into 4 x 2cm/¾ in-thick ‘steaks’
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tbsp dark muscovado sugar
  • 2 x 250g pouches ready-cooked quinoa
  • juice 1 orange
  • small pack flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • small pack dill, chopped
  • 50g dried sour cherries, roughly chopped
  • 250g pack halloumi, cut into 8 slices

Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a baking tray with baking parchment and put the cabbage steaks on top. Mix together the balsamic, oil, fennel seeds and sugar, then season and spoon it over the cabbage. Cover the cabbage with foil and roast for 20 mins, then remove the foil and cook for a further 10 mins until softened.
