Ribollita is the perfect example of cucina povera – the virtue of making something delicious from bits of this and that. Sweet Baby G riffed on her version using ceci (chickpeas) instead of cannellini beans, locally grown cavolo nero (a type of kale), tomatoes, and some of my leftover sourdough bread.
She also used some of the cavolo nero leaves to make “kale chips” — a recipe she tells me she borrowed from Jennifer Garner. And we drank some of our own Tutto Doppio pecorino wine. DELICIOUS!!
