Provençal Bok Choy

This vibrant Provençal bok choy dish offers a unique Mediterranean twist on a classic leafy green. By pairing the mild crunch of bok choy with the punchy flavours of garlic, thyme and Kalamata olives, you create a side dish that is both aromatic and deeply savoury. The addition of fresh orange zest provides a bright, citrusy lift that beautifully balances the richness of the extra-virgin olive oil and the sweetness of the softened tomatoes.

As a versatile vegan recipe, it makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled proteins or can be served alongside crusty sourdough bread for a light lunch. This simple, one-pan method ensures the vegetables retain their fresh vitamins and minerals while soaking up the traditional flavours of the South of France. It is a healthy, plant-based option for those looking to introduce more variety into their weekly vegetable rotation.

Ingredients for Provençal Bok Choy

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 2 teaspoons chopped thyme

  • 1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf

  • 3 (3-by 1-inch) strips orange zest

  • 1.4kg bok choy (2 to 3 heads), cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces

  • 450g tomatoes (3 medium), chopped

  • 80ml Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped

  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley

How to make Provençal Bok Choy

Heat oil in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté garlic with thyme, bay leaf, and zest until garlic is pale golden and mixture is very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add bok choy, tomatoes, olives, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bok choy is crisp-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Discard bay leaf and stir in parsley.
