Black cabbage in extra virgin olive oil
Agrimarconi: olio evo normale e aromatizzato

Do we have any Tuscan recipes to start the year well? Absolutely yes and they are a treasure of symbols, propitiatory gestures and peasant memory. In Tuscany, the beginning of the year is not just a change of date: it is a ritual linked to the generosity of the land and tightened community.
Well, one of these Tuscan recipes is black cabbage in extra virgin olive oil. 🥬

📜 Recipe for black cabbage with extra virgin olive oil

Ingredients (for 4 people)

  • 1 large bunch of black cabbage
  • 2–3 cloves of garlic poached
  • Tuscan extra virgin olive oil (abundant)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper (optional)
  • A few drops of lemon or a drizzle of white wine vinegar (optional, but traditional in some areas)

Method

1. Prepare the leaves

  • Pull the leaves off the central stem (which is fibrous).
  • Wash them well.
  • Break them with your hands into irregular pieces: it is a gesture that keeps the fiber “alive”.

2. Blanch

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Dip the cabbage in and cook it for 8–12 minutes, until it’ s tender but not undone.
  • Drain it well, without squeezing it

3. Flavor

  • In a large pan, heat extra virgin olive oil with the crushed garlic cloves.
  • When the garlic smells (it should not darken), add the cabbage to it.
  • Cook it over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring calmly.
  • Rule in flavor with salt, if needed
  • Turn off the heat and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Rest is the real secret!)
  •  The cabbage absorbs the oil and becomes softer, almost velvety.

Tasty variant

Use Agrimarconi oil with a mix of chilli, bay leaf and garlic. 🌶️🌿🧄

Black cabbage in oil is one of those simple and genuine dishes. Water, vegetables, good oil and the patience to let the winter “fall” in the pot 🍲.
