Pour gigantes plaki into a small skillet with the tomato sauce. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and stir in oregano.
Step 2
Heat over medium until the beans are warmed through and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, warm the dolmades in a bowl: microwave for 2 minutes or place jar in a pot of warm water for 3 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer warmed dolmades to a serving plate. Arrange gigantes plaki, pickled cauliflower, and lemon slices alongside.
Step 5
Drizzle everything with remaining olive oil and red wine vinegar. Scatter dill over the dolmades and beans.
