🧾 Ingredients:
For the cabbage:
- 1 large green cabbage
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
For the creamy sauce:
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise

- 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar
- Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
Topping:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- Optional: chopped red chili or herbs for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Slice the cabbage
Cut the cabbage into thick slices (about 1-inch thick “steaks”).
Try to keep the core intact so slices hold together.
2. Prepare the sauce
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, and chili flakes until smooth.
3. Season the cabbage
Place cabbage slices on a lined baking tray.
Brush both sides with olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
4. Add sauce
Spread a layer of the creamy sauce over each cabbage slice.
5. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes.
6. Add cheese & finish
Remove from oven, sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
Return to oven and bake another 5–10 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
7. Serve
Garnish with chili flakes or fresh herbs and serve hot.
