Black cabbage with taggiasca olives
Black cabbage with taggiasca olives is a typical Tuscan side dish prepared with steamed or boiled black cabbage and sautéed in a pan with oil, garlic and chilli.
It is a cabbage with very dark leaves that is traditionally harvested after the first winter frost. Used in famous dishes such as ribollita and cauliflower, in this case we present it as an outline simply ironed in a pan, a preparation technique that in Tuscany is also used with vegetables such as chicory, spinach and beets … all to be tried!
