Grilling adds some char to the vegetable that gives it a deeper, more interesting flavor. The grill also gives the cabbage a few different textures—some crispy bits on the outside while the inside is tender. The sauce—well, that’s what elevates this side dish from side dish afterthought to prominent position on the table at your next barbecue. And if I’m not selling it enough, just make it to appreciate the color of all the beautiful things that grow in this world.
