Brown Butter Miso Cabbage
Brown Butter Miso Cabbage
Featuring: Shared Cultures Morel Mushroom Miso
🧈 We used Morel Mushroom Miso for deep, savory richness — but it’s just as delicious with Black Garlic Miso for a sweeter, roasted edge.
Humble cabbage, transformed.
This dish brings out the best in cabbage — crispy edges, tender layers, and a golden brown butter miso glaze that clings to every fold. It’s deeply flavorful, incredibly easy, and ready to steal the show at any meal.

Ingredients
- 1 medium cabbage (about 2 lbs)
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Shared Cultures Morel Mushroom Miso
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Salt + pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- Scallions, for garnish
Method
- Cut cabbage in half through the core, then slice each half into 3 wedges, keeping the core intact so the wedges hold together.
- Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place cabbage wedges cut side down in the pan and press with a spatula to ensure good contact.
- Cook each cut side for 4–5 minutes, until deeply browned.
- Season with salt and pepper, then transfer cabbage to a plate.
- Wipe out the pan, then add butter and cook over medium heat until brown bits form and it smells nutty (about 2–3 minutes). Stir occasionally.
- Transfer brown butter to a bowl and whisk in the Shared Cultures miso and lemon juice until smooth.
- Spoon the miso brown butter sauce generously over the cabbage wedges.
- Top with chopped walnuts and sliced scallions.
- Serve hot and enjoy the crispy-tender magic.
