Method

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Heat the oil in a large, shallow, ovenproof frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the cabbage wedges, then brown in the pan for 12 mins, turning halfway, until lightly charred. Remove to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter and cook for 1-2 mins until brown and nutty. Pour in the cider and bubble for 5 mins until reduced by about half, cooking away the alcohol before adding the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, then nestle the cabbage wedges back into the braising stock and transfer to the oven. Gently roast for 40 mins, turning halfway, or until tender.
Squeeze the lemon juice over the braised cabbage and top with the crème fraîche, lemon zest and dill fronds to serve.
