Peel and roughly chop 3 medium-sized onions. Warm 3 tbsp of olive oil in a shallow pan, add the onions and let them cook over a moderate heat for 15 minutes or so, until translucent.

Season. Leave to simmer over a low to moderate heat. Roll up the cabbage leaves and shred them finely, roughly the width of a pencil, then stir them into the creamy beans and onions. Leave to simmer.
Chop the cabbage stalks into small dice. In a second pan, warm 2 tbsp of the oil from a jar of mi-cuit tomatoes, then add the stalks and cook for 1 or 2 minutes until bright. Pull the leaves from 2 sprigs of rosemary, chop them finely and add to the cabbage stalks together with 80g of chopped mi-cuit tomatoes and cook for a minute or two.
Divide the creamy beans and onions between 2 large bowls then sprinkle over the sizzling stems and tomatoes. Serves 2.
