Warm pointed cabbage salad with feta, pistachios and edamame beans.
This warm pointed cabbage salad is a lovely mix of crisp, creamy and fresh – and it genuinely takes only 5 minutes to make.
The pointed cabbage (also sold as hispi or sweetheart cabbage) is coarsely shredded and flash-fried briefly in a little olive oil, so it just wilts slightly and still has plenty of bite. It is spread on a plate and topped with edamame beans (either quickly boiled or simply covered with boiling water), chopped pistachios and crumbled feta. Finally it is drizzled with a little lemon juice, grated lemon zest and perhaps a little extra olive oil – and you finish with freshly ground pepper and, if you like, some flat-leaf parsley for colour, flavour and finish.
The salad is very versatile and can be served either warm or cold. It is perfect with barbecued food, roast chicken or fish, or as a colourful vegetarian addition to the lunch table. You can easily make it ahead and keep it in the fridge – it tastes wonderful either way.
Warm pointed cabbage salad with pistachio and feta
Ingredients
- 150 g edamame beans, thawed (podded weight)

Method
- Bring the edamame beans briefly to the boil, or cover them with boiling water, then drain them well.
- Heat a frying pan with a splash of oil and fry the pointed cabbage over a high heat for a couple of minutes. It should only wilt slightly and still have bite. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
