I made this reduction last night with the cabbage and since I was only cooking for two, I cut the recipe in half….cooking time is a bit shorter but it worked really well. Yum!

This recipe for roasted cabbage is simply THE best. Use a great tasting salt. The Balsamic vinegar reduction adds elegance. Be sure to use very little, however—a couple of tablespoons at most will do. Then adjust for personal taste. The high heat will not have your home smelling of cooked cabbage either. Great with all kinds of pork dishes—BBQ, roasted pork, tenderloins, chops.
