Hispi cabbage in beer and miso
Pairing beer and food is an underappreciated art. Let's change that! The Pillars and Plates series is a collaboration with our talented trade partners to bring you a selection of carefully crafted recipes that combine excellent lager and exquisite food. We've teamed up with Slowburn to bring you a standout recipe, perfectly paired with a crisp, refreshing glass of Pillars Pilsner.
2x Hispi cabbage, cut in halves
500g Veg stock
125ml Pillars Pilsner
50g White miso
25g Smoked garlic
125g Extra virgin olive oil
30g Cider
Bring stock to a simmer together with smoked garlic, miso, vinegar, salt and beer. Emulsify with olive oil using a stick blender.
Half the cabbages and char on a bbq or in a pan. Transfer the cabbage to a suitable baking tray.
Pour the hot braising liquid over the cabbage. Cover with tinfoil and cook in the oven at 180-190 °C for 35-40 min.
Serve with celeriac or mint puree, a tomato, caramel and Urfa chilli dressing, along with toasted hazelnuts.
Pair with Pillars Pilsner:
Pairs exceptionally well with Pillars Pilsner, the same beer used in the cooking process, to create a beautiful echo of flavour. The lager's clean, crisp profile complements the dish's umami richness while its subtle malt sweetness enhances the caramelised cabbage. The beer's carbonation refreshes the palate between bites, making each mouthful as special as the first.
