Puff Pastry with Purple Cabbage

Puff pastry with purple cabbage. Purple cabbage is this amazing vegetable I discovered only recently; I can’t explain why I was opposed to buying it before, always using only white savoy cabbage. Practically now, I add purple cabbage everywhere, whether in minestrone or ribollita, but even when sautéed on its own purple cabbage is delicious.

Tofu is a food made from soymilk through a complex process to obtain this cheese-like product, without actually being cheese. Ideal for those who are lactose intolerant.

in cucina con pina

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.
