Prepare the cabbage

• Slice off the base of the cabbage with a very sharp knife.
• Peel off the first two layers to remove any old leaves.
• Carefully cut out the centre, working your way around, until the core pops out.

Score the top

• Make incisions through the top of the cabbage so the oil, butter and seasoning seep inside.

Season the cabbage

• Rub olive oil all over the cabbage, including the inside.
• Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, Cuban Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika and Tony's seasoning.

Add the butter and wrap

• Place the butter quarters in the centre cavity and press down.
• Wrap the cabbage in two layers of aluminium foil, folding it into a little peak at the top.

Roast

• Set the wrapped cabbage on a pan and bake at 200 °C.

Add water halfway

• Open the foil and add a little water to help the cabbage soften and become tender.
• Close it back up and return to the oven.

Serve

• Unwrap the cabbage once tender and serve it with the buttery juices from the pan.
