Directions:

  1. Wash and cut cabbage head.

  3. Be sure core is removed and discarded.
  4. In large pot, sautee garlic in hot olive oil until tender.
  5. Add cabbage, chicken broth, salt and pepper.
  6. Bring to a boil.
  7. Immediately reduce to a simmer and cover.
  8. After about 45 minutes, add beans, then re-cover pot.
  9. Cook until everything is heated and tender throughout and all flavors have blended.
  10. You can add hot pepper flakes when serving, if desired.
  11. We also like to drizzle a bit of fine quality olive oil on the top of our bowls before eating.
  12. Enjoy with good crusty bread and you have yourself a healthy meal!
