Method

1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Cut 4 thick slices (about 1-1½cm) from the middle of the cabbage. Leave the core attached to hold the steaks together. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush with half the oil. Add the steaks and brush with the remaining oil. Season and roast for 30 mins, carefully flipping halfway.
2. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick frying pan over a high heat. Dry-fry the pancetta until just crisp, then add the garlic, chopped thyme and white wine. Cook for 1 min or until the wine has reduced and become syrupy.
3. Remove the steaks from the oven, spoon over the pancetta mix, then sprinkle over the Parmesan and whole thyme leaves. Return to the oven for 5 mins until tender.

Tip: Make the most of white cabbage while it's in season in the spring. It has a distinctive peppery bite and is perfect for adding bite to many recipes.

If eating raw, discard the outer leaves, cut into quarters , then shred finely, discarding the core. Add to coleslaws or pile into tacos with a spicy filling, or toss with lemon juice and olive oil for a crunchy salad. To cook, try stir-frying with a dash of vinegar and pinch of sugar for a sweet-and-sour side.
