Miso Mustard Butter Chicken and Sweetheart Cabbage

adapted from House and Garden

3/4 tbsp Dijon mustard
100 g Kerrygold butter, softened at room temperature
3 Garlic cloves, crushed
3 tbsp White miso paste
1 Large sweetheart cabbage
©angiesrecipes, trimmed and quartered (or 2 small ones, halved)
2 tbsp Olive oil
1-2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar
4x200-250 g Chicken legs
50 g Walnuts or hazelnuts, roughly chopped
2 tbsp Dill, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Beat the mustard, butter, garlic and miso together and put the mixture aside.
Preheat the oven to 220C/425F.
Rub the cabbages lightly with the olive oil and vinegar and season generously with salt, ensuring that all sides are well coated. Arrange them on a baking tray. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and nestle these around the cabbage.
Bake the chicken and cabbage for 15 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven and dot the chicken and cabbage all over with the miso butter. Return to the oven for 20-25 minutes. Next add the nuts to the tray and roast for a further 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cabbage is soft and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven, baste the cabbage and chicken with the juices in the base of the pan, then sprinkle all over with the chopped dill.
