Ribollita ~ Italian winter soup...

Lots of different recipes from The Graun, though it’s more of a throw beans & veg in the pot. Cavolo is compulsory for me, & I like to use borlotti beans. It’s also nice with pasta, though this doesn’t seem to improve the texture if it lasts as long as day 2.

Today’s version:

Two large garlic cloves, crushed & left to oxidise whilst the onions sautee.

2 large onions chopped & sauteed in enough rice bran oil ti slightly caremalise ( I add a slosh of olive oil at the end, but it can also be made oil free if that floats your boat).

2 litres of water, 2 vegetable stock cubes, 1 teaspoons mixed herbs, a bay leaf (a chunk of parmesan rind & a good slosh of red wine is optional. I added nutritional yeast & a dash of liquid aminos).

3-4 sticks of celery, finely chopped

2 tins beans or soaked & partially cooked beans ( borlotti, canelli are nice, puy lentils are excellent).

3-4 grated carrots

200g chopped chestnut mushrooms

300g chopped green beans

200g shredded cavolo nero

Lots of black pepper

I add the veg in this order as some I like well cooked, & the beans & cavolo a wee bit crunchy.

I having this with a quarter of a seeded sourdough baguette & avocado. :D

Wow, that looks lovely!

Zest :-)

Hi Mel

I see Zest kindly shared lots of posts and yours was one of them. I have copied and pasted the ingredients but would like to know did you use a slow cooker and how long did you cook it for and was it on low, medium or high?

I have to say that the dish looks absolutely delicious.

Thanks very much Mel
