ROASTED CABBAGE STEAKS WITH CRISPY CHICKPEAS AND HERBY CROUTONS



Roasted Cabbage Steaks With Crispy Chickpeas and Herby Croutons image

It's time we gave cabbage its place in the roasted vegetable hall of fame. When roasted at high temperature, humble cabbage becomes sweet and incredibly satisfying. Wide cabbage 'steaks' create an irresistible base for crispy chickpeas and herby croutons, finished with rich lemony garlic mayonnaise. While you roast the steaks, add a second halved cabbage to the sheet pan to roast and use for slaws throughout the week.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium purple or green cabbages (4-5 lb. total; second cabbage optional)
2 tsp. (or more) kosher salt, divided
1 3/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 (14.5-oz.) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided; plus more for drizzling
1 1/4 tsp. ground coriander, divided
1/2 loaf sourdough bread (about 1/2 lb.)
2 garlic cloves, finely grated, divided
2 tsp. Dijon mustard, divided
2 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley, plus whole leaves for serving
1/2 cup vegan or regular mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. (or more) fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice 1 cabbage into 1"-thick steaks. Cut the second cabbage in half (if using). Arrange on a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Turn steaks and halves and drizzle second sides with oil; season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Arrange cabbage halves cut side down and roast until golden brown on the bottom and tender, 35-40 minutes. (Reserve cabbage halves for another use. Let cool, then cover and chill.)
  • Meanwhile, place chickpeas on another rimmed baking sheet and pat dry with a clean towel. Add cumin, 1/4 cup oil, 1 tsp. coriander, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and toss to combine. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until golden and crisp, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside; reserve baking sheet (no need to wash).
  • Tear bread into bite-size chunks. Whisk 1/4 cup oil, 1 grated garlic clove, 1 tsp. mustard, 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and remaining 1/4 tsp. coriander in a large bowl to combine. Add torn bread and toss well to coat. As soon as chickpeas are done roasting, transfer bread to reserved baking sheet and roast until golden and crispy, 10���12 minutes.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, and remaining grated garlic, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. mustard, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Taste and season with salt if needed.
  • Smear mayonnaise sauce on plates and top with cabbage steaks. Top cabbage with chickpeas and croutons. Drizzle with more mayonnaise sauce, thinning with lemon juice or water if needed to make it pourable. Top with parsley leaves.

LEAFY HERB SALAD



Leafy Herb Salad image

This salad is ideal for Thanksgiving or other huge, rich meals, something to nibble on between bites of sour cream potatoes and buttered stuffing. It's more of an idea than a recipe, so feel free to riff on the greens and herbs involved. It should have about a 1:1 ratio of salad greens to herbs, and be very lemony, with plenty of salt.

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups spicy greens, such as arugula, mizuna or torn mustard greens
Leaves and tender stems from 1 bunch parsley
Leaves and tender stems from 1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch chives, coarsely chopped
1 to 2 cups mint or dill leaves (optional)
1 lemon
Flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine greens in a large bowl, along with parsley, cilantro and chives. Add mint or dill leaves, if you have them on hand. (It's fine if you don't, but the more the merrier.)
  • Zest lemon over the greens, then halve and squeeze lemon juice all over everything. Season with flaky salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper, and finish with a good drizzle of olive oil. The salad should be lightly oiled, and heavy on the flaky salt and lemon juice.

HERBY THREE-BEAN SALAD



Herby Three-Bean Salad image

Ready for picnics and potlucks, this zippy take on a classically American three-bean salad features crunchy green beans, creamy chickpeas and cannellini beans (and is vegan, too). The marinated vegetables (fennel, celery and onions) add texture and a vinegary kick, while a mix of herbs lend complexity and freshness. Feel free to use whatever combination of canned beans you like; kidney beans are classic, black beans velvety, black-eyed peas earthy. You can prepare this salad up to four hours ahead and keep it at room temperature, or you can make it the day before and refrigerate it. Toss well and add more salt and vinegar, if needed, just before serving.

Categories     quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, plus more as needed
1/4 cup unsweetened rice vinegar, plus more to taste
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to taste
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 cup thinly sliced fennel, celery or a combination
8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini or Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup chopped fresh soft herbs, such as parsley, mint, dill, cilantro or a combination
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • In a dry medium saucepan (one large enough to hold the green beans in Step 4), toast coriander seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool. Once the seeds are cool enough to handle, use a mortar and pestle to crack them, or place them on a cutting board and crack with the flat side of a chef's knife. Set aside.
  • Fill the same saucepan you used for the coriander with salted water and bring to a boil.
  • While waiting for the water to boil, combine 1/4 cup vinegar, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in large mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Add onion along with fennel or celery, or both, and toss. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes while preparing the rest of the salad.
  • To the boiling water, add the green beans and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, until they turn bright green and are crisp-tender. Immediately drain beans in a colander, then run cold tap water over them to stop the cooking. Once cool, pat them dry.
  • Add the blanched green beans, chickpeas, cannellini beans, herbs and toasted coriander seeds to the marinated onions. Season with remaining salt and pepper, and gently toss to evenly combine. Taste and add more salt and vinegar if needed. (Keep in mind that you'll also be adding flaky salt to finish.) Drizzle with olive oil and flaky sea salt, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cabbage. This will help it absorb the dressing better and make it easier to eat.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as carrots, celery, or cucumbers.
  • For a more flavorful salad, let it marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This herby cabbage salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
