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.

VEGAN CAESAR SALAD WITH CRISP CHICKPEAS



Vegan Caesar Salad With Crisp Chickpeas image

There are many ways to mimic the rich, creamy texture of emulsified, egg-based Caesar dressing: Tofu, vegan mayonnaise, aquafaba whipped with oil, the list goes on. Blended raw cashews prove themselves the best base in this version, which is fortified with garlic, mustard, miso paste and caper brine to achieve the tangy-salty-punchy balance found in the real deal. Crisp chickpeas and hand-torn croutons add a crunchiness that plays well with the velvety dressing.

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 small loaf crusty bread, such as sourdough, torn into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can chickpeas, drained, rinsed and thoroughly dried
1 large bunch lacinato kale, stems removed and roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1 large head romaine lettuce, roughly chopped into 1-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
1 cup whole (unroasted) cashews
1 snack-size (2-by-3-inch) sheet roasted nori, crumbled (optional)
1/4 cup nutritional yeast, plus more for serving
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
3 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons brine from a jar of capers
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon white miso paste
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. On a medium baking sheet, toss the bread with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season generously with salt and pepper. On a second baking sheet, toss the chickpeas with remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Bake both until chickpeas and croutons are browned and crisp, stirring both halfway through, about 10 minutes for the croutons and 20 minutes for the chickpeas. Set aside.
  • While the chickpeas and croutons roast, prepare your dressing: To a high-speed blender, add all the dressing ingredients, plus 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 3/4 cup water; blend until completely smooth, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula every now and again. Set dressing aside. (You should have 1 1/2 cups).
  • In a large bowl, add the kale and the dressing. Using your hands, massage the kale until slightly softened. Add the lettuce, croutons and half the roasted chickpeas; toss to coat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with additional nutritional yeast. Top with remaining roasted chickpeas; grind black pepper over, and serve immediately.
