Whole Roasted Cabbage with Homemade Labneh and Crispy Crumbs

Labneh is simply strained yogurt, but it's also worth trying a mixture of half yogurt, half sour cream. Mix them together, salt lightly, and pour into a sieve lined with cheesecloth. Let it drain in the refrigerator until it reaches a cream cheese consistency. You can flavor it with fresh herbs.

Cut the cabbages lengthwise in half and sprinkle with salt, ensuring it gets between the leaves. If the cabbages are larger, cut them into 4 wedges instead.

Spread the cut surface with soft butter, season with pepper, and place them cut-side up in a 140-degree Celsius oven for at least 1 hour, until a sharp knife inserted into them no longer feels hard. Then increase the oven temperature to 200 degrees Celsius to slightly caramelize the cabbage.
