If it's a snow day or I'm feeling a bit under the weather, nothing cures me like this bowl of roasty, buttery cabbage in a bright herby dressing, drowned in parmesan broth. The broth is umami-rich and super savory, while the cabbage is roasted to caramelized, softened perfection. Put it together with a bunch of lemon for brightness, and it'll heal you. Or at least keep you warm.
