A vibrant dish with charred cabbage complemented by creamy white bean purée, brightened with freshly squeezed lemon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of cabbage (green or savoy)
- 2 lemons (juiced and zested)
- 1 can of white beans (cannellini or great northern)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the cabbage into wedges, keeping the core intact.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Place cabbage in the skillet cut side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until charred.
- Flip the cabbage, add garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 4-5 minutes until tender.

Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain good char. Common mistakes include not allowing enough time for the cabbage to char and cooking the garlic too early.
