After Leah asked what our favourite Italian meal was, I knew I'd have to make some ribollita its a very easy bean stew with veggies. I used a tin of organic mixed beans with onions leeks baby plum tomatoes chestnut mushrooms aubergine courgette broccoli peppers garlic, seasoned with oregano basil ginger and black pepper.
The buckwheat pasta is slightly bitter so I had it with gram flour spirals red lentils and some quinoa so its probably low carb as well as gluten free and plant based.
Ribollita means reboiled so its a meal using left overs and was often seen as peasants food but hey I love country food so I love meals like this. 😀
I saw that your favourite meal was Ribollita, and I think it's fantastic that you've made your own at home. It looks really great! Lovely flavours in there. Lots of great ingredients. Very colourful too.
I didn't realise what 'Ribollita' meant - so thanks for explaining it. It looks like a very scrumptious meal.
Thank you for letting us know what ribolita meant. I was thinking of going on and looking it up.😀👍
Your ribolita and pasta sounds great!😀👍 I will have a salad with tuna for dinner tonight. I had a Greek yogurt and gluten free French Toast for lunch.😀👍
We do not eat beans but looks wonderful. Thank you for the meaning on the word. We are keto expanding my horizons and looking at the start resistants if the pasta and grains are chilled. It was brought up on this site, I take normal blood glucose reading besides wearing a DEXCOM G6. Would love to dive into a bowl of fresh green beans with freesh bacon this weekend we are having the grand kids and son over for a Crab and Shrimp feast. Great grandma for them too! Missed three bean salads but if this new science is right which my numbers are showing in favor of I'll beable to gain some pounds and maintain good stable Type 1 numbers and seizure conditions. Actually have fallen to low the nights I've chilled the meals. It will be a learning curve.
I adore ribollita (first had it in Tuscany) but for me it always involves a slice of bread drizzled with olive oil in the bottom of the bowl first and no pasta. And really just tomatoes onions garlic plus beans plus cavolo nero. (Which I try to grow but this year's crop looks set to be nil) I like my dishes fairly distinct - so that ratatouille or minestrone is not the same as ribollita.
Something to look forward to in Autumn, especially as it tastes even better a second or third day.
