Braised Savoy cabbage with Delica pumpkin, a simple seasonal side dish. This is the cabbage season, so let’s use them and use them with pumpkin, maybe Delica. It’s actually my favorite because it remains dry and full-bodied. Impossible not to love it, the Delica pumpkin, in addition to being an early variety, is already available in stores in the summer, and it is very versatile in the kitchen. We could prepare an entire menu from starter to dessert with pumpkin, as it is also a mine of vitamins and not only. Together with Savoy cabbage, we create a simple and delicate side dish contrary to what one might think of cabbage.

  • Can I cook the Savoy cabbage with pumpkin in the oven?

    Sure, although it can no longer be called braised Savoy cabbage and pumpkin, but baked, and it will certainly be equally good.

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
