White Beans and Cabbage

2 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 leeks, cleaned and sliced thin
Fine-grain sea salt
2 cups cooked and cooled white beans, or 1 can (15 ounces) white beans, drained and rinsed
3 cups finely shredded green cabbage
A bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Pour the olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Sauté the leeks for 2-3 minutes, and then stir in the beans. Let the beans cook in a single layer for a couple minutes, until they brown a bit, then scrape and toss again. Cook until the beans are nicely browned and a bit crispy on all sides. Stir in the cabbage, and cook for another minute, or until the cabbage loses a bit of its structure. Serve dusted with Parmesan.
