Nothing complicated. Just good food, cooked outdoors
We’re back with Episode 2 of Cookout Sessions, where Sam Jones (@NoMeatDisco) fires up a feast of good eats, celebrating everything the UK summer has to offer. Nothing complicated. Just good food, cooked outdoors.
Episode 2 sees Sam head to 7th Rise in Cornwall, a wild spot ideal for swimming and cooking alfresco. Everything he needed to cook this mouthwatering smoky gochujang cabbage recipe, he carried in his backpack (yes, even the stove). Expect a good dose of cold dipping, sizzling cabbages, and a spot of birdwatching for good measure.

Starters & Sharers
Ingredients
- 1 medium cabbage (savoy or hispi)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper
For the glaze:
- 2 tbsp Gochujang paste
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar

To finish:
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Charred crushed peanuts
- Kimchi
- Oat Greek Yoghurt (or any kind of Greek Yoghurt)
Cooking Instructions
Prep the cabbage:
Cut the cabbage into thick wedges, leaving the core intact so they hold together.
Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the wedges:
- Place wedges directly on a hot cast-iron skillet, grill pan, or tray in the Gozney Tread. Cook for 8-10 mins, turning once, until deeply charred and tender.
Make the glaze:
- Whisk together gochujang paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
Glaze and finish:
- Brush the charred cabbage with the glaze and return to the oven or skillet for 2 mins to caramelize.
- Plate up your yoghurt. Set your cabbage on top, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and crushed peanuts before serving. Serve with kimchi.
