Instructions
Set up the grill for indirect heat and preheat to 350 to 400 degrees F.
Cut the Cabbage:
Peel any dark green or wilted outer leaves off the cabbage;discard. Place the cabbage onto a cutting board. Using a sharp knife or meatcleaver, cut the cabbage in half. Next, cut the two halves in half to get fourequal-sized wedges of cabbage, leaving the stem intact, which helps keep thecabbage together so it will cook evenly.
Prepare the Cabbage Wedges for Grilling:
Wrap each wedge with two strips of bacon then place each ona large sheet of foil. Divide the onions up equally among the four wedges,tossing them onto the foil with the bacon-wrapped cabbage. Next, sprinkle eachcabbage wedge with BBQ seasoning, to taste. Wrap the tin foil around eachcabbage wedge and seal tightly.
Grill the Cabbage: (skip if grilling)
Place the foil-wrapped cabbage wedges, over indirect heat (the cool side of the grill). Grill the cabbage at 350 to 400 degrees for about 45 to 60 minutes or until the cabbage is tender, turning twice during cooking.
Oven Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.Bake the foil wrapped cabbage wedges for 30 to 45 minutes or until cabbage is tender and carmelized. Use tongs to gently sqeeze the foil packet to check for tenderness.
Serving:
When the cabbage is tender remove them from the grill. Serve inside the foil or pour them out onto a plate or bowl. (Use Caution: the liquid inside the foil is hot and may drip!)
Notes
Leave the stem of the cabbage intact when cutting the cabbage into wedges. This will hold the cabbage together and help them cook evenly.Cut the wedges equally so that they cook evenly and are all done at the same time.Use regular cut bacon. Thick bacon strips are not as easy to wrap around things.Drizzle the cabbage lightly with olive oil to help the seasoning stick.Rotate the cabbage every 15 to 20 minutes to ensure even cooking.The time it takes to grill cabbage is dependent on the size of the cabbage wedges and the temperature at which they are cooked. Larger cabbage wedges will take longer to cook than smaller ones. If the cabbage wedges are cooked at a lower temperature they will take longer.Check cabbages for doneness by gently squeezing them with grilling tongs after about 45 minutes. They should start to give when they become tender.
