Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 5 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced (3 tablespoons)
  • 4 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth or no-chicken broth
  • 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 large egg
  • 2½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sliced garlic; sauté until softened (about 4 minutes).
  2. Stir in chopped cabbage, oregano, and pepper; cook until cabbage softens (about 3 minutes).
