    Made with savoy cabbage and garbanzo beans. Very good and easy. The greener cabbage makes it a bit less of a beige food.

    If feeding a family of four, definitely double this recipe.

    I love this recipe, it is perfect comfort food. I usually make it in a non-stick wok. The author says it serves 4, I would say 2-3. I often up the quantity of potatoes and sometimes add smoked paprika for an additional flavour dimension. If you’re vegan it also works really well with nutritional yeast as a substitute for Parmesan cheese. I find the cabbage takes a lot longer than one minute to cook, but perhaps I’m not slicing it as finely as the author.

    Went with enameled cast iron as suggested. This felt like Christmas market food and I'm sure is far better in Winter months, but I had a ton of beans to use and that brought me here. I also added a bit of chicken salt for some extra flavor.

    We really liked this and will definitely make again.

    Simple, delicious, and filling. Also popular with the kids.

    So simple, yet so tasty! I used an enameled coated cast iron pot and there wasn't too much sticking. Will definitely be making this again!

    This is a great hash-like recipe that is a perfect vehicle for cabbage. The sum is really greater than the parts. I skipped the Parmesan and it was still very tasty. I completely concur with using a pan that doesn't stick-you will have real problems otherwise.

    Surprisingly great flavor for being such a simple, speedy, hearty dish with so few ingredients. Not much to look at, but also reheats well.

    Since I have a stainless sautee pan, I added plenty of oil to allow the potatoes to brown without sticking. I found that my potato cubes were so small, they just blended into the final dish, which wasn't a bad thing, but next time I will make them a little larger, maybe about half the size of the beans. I also added extra olive oil with the beans, partly to avoid sticking, but also because olive oil, potatoes, and white beans just go together so well. This is a great inexpensive, easy supper for any time of year.

    Not a pretty dish for company, but a delicious weeknight meal. The dish reminds me of a hash. The cabbage adds an interesting, but not overpowering flavor. Very different from the norm, and sure to be repeated.

    If you'd like to omit the Parmesan, black pepper (and some more salt) works nicely but it is a pretty different dish. Use a nonstick or seasoned cast iron pan - I tried stainless the first time and had a big thick coat of caked-on mush on the bottom so nothing browned. Big mistake.

  • maggiewt on September 25, 2013

    Agreed that this recipe is MUCH better than it appears. I use a cast-iron as well, the larger the better.

  • kb_mw on October 19, 2011

    Love love LOVE this recipe. The first time I made it, both my husband and I were skeptical, but it is really excellent. We use a cast-iron skillet, I would recommend either that or non-stick to get the potatoes browned. We make this at least once a week. Easy, CHEAP, and tasty, a real winner.
