Cavolo Nero with Coriander

This vibrant cavolo nero with coriander is a sophisticated yet simple vegan side dish that breathes new life into winter greens. By quickly blanching the dark, crinkly leaves before sautéing them with aromatics, you preserve their deep colour and earthy flavour while ensuring a tender texture. The addition of fresh coriander provides a surprising citrusy lift that cuts through the robustness of the kale, creating a versatile accompaniment for a variety of plant-based mains.

Packed with nutrients, this healthy vegetable dish is an excellent way to incorporate more leafy greens into your weekly menu. It works beautifully alongside a spiced chickpea stew or served as part of a traditional roast dinner for a modern, fragrant twist. The combination of softened onions and fresh herbs ensures every bite is seasoned to perfection, making it a reliable staple for quick midweek cooking.
