With affordable ingredients like butter beans and cabbage, you can enjoy a healthy yet flavorsome meal thanks to this seared balsamic cabbage on harissa butter beans recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small white cabbage sliced into wedges
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 red onion finely sliced
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp harissa paste
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tin butter beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- 60 g panko breadcrumbs
- Fresh herbs such as basil or coriander, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and sear the cabbage wedges until golden on each side. Once done, transfer them to an oven tray and brush with balsamic vinegar. Roast in the oven at 180°C for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway.
- In the same pan, add onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened. Stir in the harissa paste, then add white wine vinegar, butter beans and chopped tomatoes. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Add fresh herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs over the roasting cabbage for the final few minutes, allowing them to get delightfully crispy.
- Once everything is ready, serve the harissa beans in shallow bowls and top with the seared cabbage wedges. Garnish with the remaining fresh herbs and season to taste. Serve with a drizzle of coconut yoghurt and dig in.
