Very Versatile Baked Beans With Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a wide saucepan. Add the bacon and carrots, then sizzle for 3-4 mins until the bacon starts to crisp. Stir in the cabbage, cook for 2 mins until wilted, then add the beans. Pour over the stock, then simmer for about 5 mins until the beans are hot and the carrots are just cooked.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, ovenproof casserole and add the onion and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, and stir in the cabbage and half the garlic. Cook, stirring, for another 5 minutes, until the cabbage has wilted.
• Add the beans, water, bouquet garni and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in the oven. Bake 1 hour and add the remaining garlic; taste and adjust salt. Return to the oven and bake for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the beans are very tender and creamy. Taste and adjust salt. Remove the bouquet garni. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Arrange the cabbage wedges in a roasting tin, drizzle over half the oil and sprinkle with the ras el hanout and some salt. Rub the oil and spices into the wedges to coat, then roast for 15 mins.
• Tip the butter beans, tomatoes, harissa, lemon rind and 1 tsp sugar into a bowl, season and stir to combine. After the cabbage wedges have had 15 mins, carefully pour the butter bean mixture in the tin around the cabbage. Put the feta on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, drizzle with the remaining oil and scatter with the chilli flakes. Return the tin with the cabbage and beans to the oven for a further 20 mins alongside the feta.
• Spoon the roasted cabbage wedges and beans onto plates or into shallow bowls along with chunks of the baked feta. Scatter with some parsley leaves and dill fronds, then drizzle with a little more olive oil before serving.
