1 head Cabbage

½ Stick Butter (or more)

Salt and Pepper

 

Preheat a very hot oven. Bring a large pot of water or stock to a boil. Remove a minimal amount of the outer leaves and quarter the cabbage, leaving the core intact. Place quarters into pot and boil for 8 minutes or so. While this is going, melt some butter separately in a small saucepan. After the cabbage is done, drain well and take out a baking dish. Pour in a small amount of the melted butter to coat the bottom and then place the drained quarters cut side up in the dish. Pour over the remainder of the melted butter and season very well with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and bake for 25 minutes. The cabbage is very sweet and so the bottom and the upper parts should blacken and caramelize.
