Ribollita: Today I started a ribollita. I made the minestrone, which is shown here. The ingredients include diced, smoked pancetta, diced leek, some fresh Calabrian pepper, likewise a serrano, carrot, celery, Yukon Gold potatoes, cannellini beans, some leftover savoy cabbage, a bunch each of cavolo nero and chard, including some of their diced stems, zucchini, a few crushed, whole peeled tomatoes along with their juice, and a few sprigs of rosemary.
When it cools, I'll layer the soup in a bowl with some stale rye bread leftover from another dish, and let it cool in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld overnight.
