Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil -- clarified butter, or unsalted butter
4 ounces potatoes -- unpeeled, scrubbed and cut into tiny cubes
fine-grain sea salt
1 large shallot -- thinly sliced
2 cups cooked and cooled white beans -- or 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups very finely shredded green cabbage
To serve: -- freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Pour the olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and a big pinch of salt. Toss, cover, and cook until the potatoes are cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.

Be sure to scrape the pan and toss the potatoes once or twice along the way so all sides get color.

Stir in the shallot and the beans. Let the beans cook in a single layer for a couple of minutes, until they brown a bit, then scrape and toss again.

Cook until the beans are nicely browned and a bit crispy on all sides. Stir in the cabbage and cook for another minutes, or until the cabbage wilts a bit.

Serve dusted with Parmesan cheese.

Serves 4

AuthorNote: Tis is the sort of simple dish I find myself enjoying on the most blustery of San Francisco afternoons. I use whatever types of beans I have on hand. Creamy thin-skinned Mayacobas or flageolets are my favorites for this particular preparation, but well-drained canned cannellini beans or chickpeas are reasonable substitutes as well. If you're in the mood for a stew, stir any leftovers into a cup or two of good-flavored vegetable broth.
