Simple Baked Gratin Cabbage

Simple baked gratin cabbage, a real novelty for me, as I have always prepared this vegetable only stewed and sometimes raw in a salad with vinegar, oil, and mustard. Usually, I always prepare baked radicchio, and today I wanted to experiment with savoy cabbage with gluten-free breadcrumb flavored with sweet paprika. The first rule is never to throw away stale bread; sooner or later, we always find a way to use it to avoid waste, like today for this recipe. Usually, I put it in the blender glass together with garlic, parsley, lemon zest, thyme, and mint, whatever the garden offers at that moment. There are always aromatic plants in my garden, both for decoration and, above all, to flavor the dishes in the kitchen.

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.
