This recipe is from the book The Ikaria Way. Lahanorizo, or cabbage rice, is one of the simplest Greek dishes, something to make on chilly winter weeknights when cabbage is in season. Keep in mind that the recipe has quite a few ingredients, but if you don’t have all of them, don’t sweat it! This dish will turn out delicious either way.
Cannellini beans are a great source of protein, and they’re super budget friendly! Most grocery stores sell a can for just one or two dollars.
