It is surprising how delicious this dish is considering its simplicity and its use of very few ingredients. It’s the perfect impromptu snack or starter. It seems almost too good to be true considering it is vegan, healthy, quick and easy. There is something so soul satisfying about the very simple combination of the Tuscan cabbage, the peppery olive oil and crunch of the bread. The best time to make this dish is during the winter after the first frost so that the cabbage is sweet.
