Seared Red Cabbage Wedges

Ingredients

1 head of red cabbage, cut in 8 wedges, core intact so that the wedges stay together
3 Tablespoons oil (more as needed)
Salt, to taste
Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a pan.
When it is very hot, place as many cabbage wedges as will fit in one layer in the pan.
Cook for three to five minutes until golden brown on one side.
Using tongs or a spatula, turn over and cook on the other side until tender, nicely browned and crispy on the edges, about five minutes.
Season generously with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
