Cabbage is often overlooked as a side vegetable.

Yes, of course it is used in salads, or for cabbage cigars, but as a side dish?

I love, love, LOVE cabbage!

Here is a way to use this super vegetable, which also has great nutritional properties (rich in fiber, vitamin C, antioxidant, etc).

Ingredients

1 cabbage 

1/4 to 1/2 cup oil of your choice (depending on the amount of cabbage)

1 to 2 tbsp of Tasty BBQ Mix or your favourite blend (as this recipe can be made with almost any of our Tasty Blends)

I'm putting here the oven cooking, but it can be cooked very well in the BBQ!

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375.

Cut cabbage into slices about 1 inch thick, and remove the "heart" part, cutting it into a V-shape (as pictured). Place the slices on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper.

Mix oil and spices.

Brush the cabbage leaves with this mixture and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes.

Enjoy!

Oven or BBQ, this scrumptious recipe is a breeze to prepare and is loved by my entire family! 

Ingredients

4 chicken legs 

1 cabbage

1/2 cup oil of your choice

3 tbsp. BBQ seasoning mix

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375.

Cut 4 slices of cabbage about 1 inch thick.

In a bowl, mix oil and BBQ seasoning.

Place cabbage slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with oil and spice mixture. Place a chicken thigh on each cabbage slice and brush the thighs with the oil and spice mixture.

Bake at 375 for about 45 min (until chicken thighs are cooked through) and serve.

If you choose the BBQ option, since the fat in the chicken thighs can burn, I suggest using either aluminum foil or a "Cookina" type thigh sheet or cooking over reverse heat.

Enjoy!

You're eating low carb and wondering what you could fit behind your tie when you're craving chips, nachos, popcorn?

Here is a recipe that will satisfy your salty cravings!

Ingredients

5 to 6 cups of pork rinds 

1/4 cup melted butter

2 tbsp of BBQ mix or your favorite spice mix (I also really like it with ranch mix PS: if you use the Mexican mix, reduce the amount since it's pretty spicy!... Unless you want a hot hot hot version 🔥)

2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast

Preparation

Melt butter, add yeast and BBQ spices. Mix well.

Stir in the pork rinds, coating them well with the mixture.

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes, making sure to stir every 3-4 min. Keep an eye on the cooking, to avoid burning the spices.

Allow to cool.

You can eat them straight out of the box, like potato chips, or serve them with hot Mexican cheddar dip, or as tostitos to make a nacho plate! 

Enjoy!

Chicken wings are so good!!!

Bake at 400 for about 45 minutes, or until cooked through. Turn the wings over halfway through the cooking time. 

While cooking, prepare the ranch dip.
