How to make it
Cut cabbage into 4 thick steaks (approximately 2cm) by slicing vertically through the core. Brush both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if needed, place cabbage steaks flat and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and blistered.
Transfer cooked cabbage steaks to a serving plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add white beans and vegetable broth. Simmer for 5 minutes, then mash roughly with a fork, leaving some texture. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine fresh mixed herbs, 1 tbsp olive oil, and garlic powder to create herb oil.
Divide white bean mash among serving plates, top with cabbage steaks, and drizzle generously with herb oil. Serve immediately.
