Savoy cabbage is a bright green, hearty member of the brassica family. Lightly braised with chickpeas and mustard, it becomes a vegetable worthy of a main course.

  • Yield

    6 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 15-oz. can chickpeas, rinsed
½ head savoy cabbage, cored cut into 1" strips
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon crused red pepper flakes
1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shallots and mustard seeds, stirring occasionally, until shallots soften and mustard seeds begin to pop, about 3 minutes. Add chickpeas, cabbage, and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until cabbage is very tender, 10–12 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar and red pepper flakes; season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired.

    Step 2

    Season yogurt with salt and pepper. Spread yogurt onto a serving platter and top with cabbage and chickpeas.
