White Beans, Charred Cabbage, Caper and Parsley Vinaigrette
by Bold Bean Co
A real centrepiece dish. Although a surprisingly low effort recipe, the charred cabbage looks so impressive and the white beans really carry the dish. Perfectly complemented with the zingy caper and parsley dressing. The perfect addition to any mezze feast. Take out the parmesan and it's also vegan.
Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C. Put the cabbage “wedges” into a large roasting dish and rub with olive oil and a good pinch of salt. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and slightly charred, turning half way through.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a good glug of olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 7-8 minutes until starting to soften and caramelise, then add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the beans to the pan with their **bean stock **(or canned beans with veg stock) and mix well to combine. Reduce the heat slightly and allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes until the beans break down a little and reach a creamy, brothy consistency. Season to taste (if using cans, they will need more seasoning, adjust accordingly).
Step 4
While everything’s cooking, make the vinaigrette by adding the remaining olive oil, capers, lemon zest and juice and parsley to an empty jar and giving it a good shake. Add more olive oil to loosen, if necessary.
Step 5
Once the cabbage is cooked, remove from the oven.
Step 6
Plate up the beans on the base of a large serving platter, top with the charred cabbage and scatter over the vinaigrette. Finish with lots of veggie hard cheese or parmesan.
