Ingredients

2 Tbsp. olive oil

2 shallots, thinly sliced

2 tsp mustard seeds

1 – 15-oz. can chickpeas, rinsed

½ head savoy cabbage, cored cut into 1″ strips

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

1 Tbsp white wine vinegar

½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shallots and mustard seeds, stirring occasionally until shallots soften and mustard seeds begin to pop about 3 minutes.

2.Add chickpeas, cabbage, and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until cabbage is very tender, 10–12 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes.

3. Stir in vinegar and red pepper flakes; season with salt, pepper, and more vinegar, if desired.

4. Season yogurt with salt and pepper. Spread yogurt onto a serving platter and top with cabbage and chickpeas.
