Got Cabbage?

Stewed Savoy Cabbage, Cavolo Verza in Umido

Though there are some elaborate cabbage recipes, many preparations are quite easy, and quite tasty too. This will work well either as a side dish with a roast or stew, or with polenta, in a vegetarian meal.

Braised Savoy Cabbage, Cavolo Verza Brasato

This is a more modern cabbage recipe, as you might guess from the presence of Worcestershire Sauce. It will work well either as a side dish with a roast or stew, or with polenta, in a vegetarian meal.

Tyrolean Savoy Cabbage, Cavolo Verza alla Tirolese

This Tyrolean savoy cabbage recipe may strike you as rather Germanic, and you'd not be far off: Up until World War I the northern half of the Val D'Adige was an Austrian province. The victorious Italians annexed everything up to the Passo del Brennero to obtain a defensible border. Returning to the recipe, it's quite easy to do and quite nice too.
