• 1 medium savoy cabbage (about 700g), cut into 4 wedges
• 3 tbsp olive oil, plus a drizzle
• 1 tbsp ras el hanout
• 600 g jar giant butter beans, or 2 x 400g cans butter beans
• 400 g can chopped tomatoes
• 2 -3 tbsp rose harissa
• 1 preserved lemon, rind thinly shredded
• 200 g feta
• 0.25 tsp chilli flakes
• parsley leaves and dill fronds, to serve

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Arrange the cabbage wedges in a roasting tin, drizzle over half the oil and sprinkle with the ras el hanout and some salt. Rub the oil and spices into the wedges to coat, then roast for 15 mins.

After the cabbage wedges have had 15 mins, carefully pour the butter bean mixture in the tin around the cabbage.
