Bar-B-Que Cabbage

I thought I had shared this before but I couldn't find it when searching so here it is again. The infamous Bar-B-Que Cabbage!

1 Medium Size Cabbage
1 Large Onion chopped (I prefer Vadalia)
6 pieces of good smoked bacon (more if you just don't care!)
Bar-b-que sauce (better if it's smoke flavored)
3 chunks of butter (no sissy margarine either)
Tin Foil

Cook bacon and break into small pieces. Sautee onion in bacon grease (ohhh yeah). Mix bacon and onions and set aside.

Make round support ring out of tin foil. Put the cabbage on the ring, stem facing up. Take a sharp knife and cut a cone shaped cavity into the core and throw away cone. Make the cone just big enough to cut out the core and leave space for filling. Brush outside of cabbage with bacon grease. (Ohhh yeah) Salt and pepper the inside and outside. Heavy on the pepper. Pour the bacon-onion mixture into the cone. Cover with plenty of BBQ sauce. Place chunks of butter on top of BBQ sauce. ohhh yeah

Place on the grill with foil ring. Cook until squeezably soft or knife pokable. About 60 minutes. If it starts to burn on the outside, just cover it up with a piece of tinfoil. If you are cooking a large cabbage, put in directly over the fire for a while. You may have to add coals to keep things nice and hot.

Serves about 4 people. Cut into wedges.

ENJOY! This cabbage rocks!
Make sure to wash down with plenty of adult beverages!

Just put on the grill.

Kielbasa sausage is really good also if you want to substitute the bacon or add to it.

Funny you asked. When replying to the cornbread salad post I thought the same thing and came back from this A.M.'s dr.appt with a very large head of cabbage.
Come to think of it, the 2 may go well together.:)

This ain't your grandma's cabbage!
This stuff will make your tongue smack your eyeballs! :D

I love the look of people's face when you show them a whole cabbage cooking away on the grill! :eek:

Not much I haven't cooked in a smoker over hickory. I do cabbage like this about 2 hours over a water pan then foil it tight for another hour or so, you can tell by squeezing when its done. I've never put the sauce in it, instead I use a whole stick of butter then add hot/bbq sauce when on the plate. Try tossing a handfull of sliced jalapenos in the hole too!

Goin Downtown.....

..........or, Every Cabbage Has It's Day.
Thought I would honor yur recipe with something home-grown. I did, and it was good.....that comes from a different area of the garden....where was I?,..........oh yeah, cabbage.

Dangit Brian. I appreciate the recipe but here I am again at a crossroads in my life, knowing I'm starin a gift horse in the mouth but without the initiative to take action & follow it thru. Do you realize that in my line of work I could impale that cone/core part of the cabbage that gets cut out on a stick and pampered horse owners would pay a premium to have a source of Cabsicles
for their horses. I could move to Salinas, CA, and am sure for a pittance get all the damaged/diseased/bug-ridden cabbages never made the grade to harvest, remove the cores, and make the rounds in my refridgerated truck from barn to barn. Id be a Fortune 500 company in no time. Women would be
lined up waiting for my arrival, popsicle sticks in hand, lauding my very name.
It would be like the groupies backstage at an old Guns N Roses concert, including the perks.

I'll let you know how the cabbage turns out. I have had a life-long urge to gypsy around pulling a small trailer selling funnel cakes and Indian fry bread. Maybe we can hook up dude.

Just now saw this. Did you cook it up already? If so, how was it? Got pics?

I haven't had one in a long time myself but my buddy has plenty of cabbage on standby for me. Won't be long!

Not yet, maybe tomorrow. I did go out tonight and found a volunteer in the cabbage patch. I dressed him up for the party and he is currently chillin.
I have plenty of cabbage if ya git up this way. I sure wish the unit given cabbage was something other than head. I don't know how to convey to you that I would be glad to give you a cabbage without dudes like Canepole, Pox, & Willsjwills to name just a few, havin a hayday with it and makin us out to be gay caballeros.:mad:
Not to mention Mr Ed puttin the kabosh down on 2 former Crappie.commers
in the incident which will go down in the anals of Crappie.commery as the
Great Head Fiasco of '07.:(

Now talking about bbq cabbage, try using the purple stuff and try using different meats as in some squrrill, and gator. Its all good on the earlier post but man there are so many ways to cook cabbage, but man every way is a good way.

What temp you cooking this on for the ones of us that have gas grills. Looks good I can't wait to try it.

Use indirect grilling for this one so it doesn't burn on the bottom.
A smoking pouch with some wood chips would still give it a bbq flavor probably or add some liquid smoke to the sauce.
Enjoy!

Did mine on a gas grill - the left-right burner type. Put the cabbage on the left, lit the right hand burner. Ran it at it's lowest flame for about 3 hours - SLOW cooked it. I don't have a thermometer on my grill, or I'd give you a temp. Main thing is slow, steady heat so it cooks all the way through. I had to cover it with foil for a while, because the outside was starting to get a little too well done.
