CABBAGE MINESTRONE WITH CHICK PEAS



Cabbage Minestrone with Chick Peas image

Minestrone can have many ingredients or few. This one has few, and yet its flavors are no less complex than my summer minestrones that have lots of different vegetables in them. Cabbage sweetens a broth as it simmers gently (and no, it won't smell like boiled cabbage). You can use red cabbage instead of green for this if you wish; that will add to the mix a whole family of flavonoids called anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants.

Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 heaped cup chick peas, washed and picked over, soaked for 6 hours or overnight in 1 quart water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
Salt to taste
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28-ounce) can tomatoes, seeded and chopped, with juice
1 1/2 pounds cabbage (green or red), outer leaves removed, cored and coarsely chopped (about 1 medium cabbage)
2 1/2 quarts water
A bouquet garni made with 1 Parmesan rind, a bay leaf, and a few sprigs each parsley and thyme
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup elbow macaroni or small shells
Freshly grated Parmesan for serving

Steps:

  • Drain the chick peas and set aside. Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy soup pot and add the onion, carrot, and celery. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until the mixture is fragrant and the vegetables tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in half the minced garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute or so, until the garlic begins to smell fragrant. Add the tomatoes and their liquid and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, until the tomatoes have cooked down a bit. Add the cabbage, stir together for a minute, then add the drained chick peas, 2 quarts water, and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 1 hour, or until the beans are just about tender.
  • Add the remaining garlic and salt to taste, cover and continue to simmer another 30 minutes to an hour, until the beans are thoroughly cooked and the soup very fragrant. Add a cup more water if it seems too thick. Add pepper, taste and adjust salt. Remove the bouquet garni.
  • Add the pasta and cook until the pasta is cooked al dente, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve, passing the Parmesan at the table for sprinkling.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 pound (about 1 1/4 cups) dried white beans such as Great Northern, picked over and rinsed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 pound pancetta (Italian cured pork belly, available at Italian markets and specialty foods shops) or sliced lean bacon, chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 large carrot, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 rib of celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
2 zucchini, scrubbed and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/4 pound green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 pound boiling potatoes
4 cups shredded green cabbage (preferably Savoy)
1/2 pound kale, rinsed, drained, stems discarded, and the leaves chopped (about 6 cups)
a 28-ounce can tomatoes, chopped coarse and drained well
4 1/2 cups chicken broth (preferably low-salt)
freshly grated Parmesan, garlic bruschetta , and dry-cured sausages as accompaniments

Steps:

  • In a large bowl let the white beans soak in enough water to cover them by 2 inches overnight or quick-soak them. Drain the white beans, in a saucepan combine them with enough water to cover them by 2 inches, and simmer them, uncovered, adding more water if necessary to keep them barely covered, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are tender. Add the salt and simmer the white beans for 5 minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and let the white beans stand, uncovered.
  • In a heavy kettle cook the pancetta in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp and pale golden, add the onion, and cook the mixture, stirring, until the onion is softened. Add the carrots, the celery, and the garlic and cook the mixture, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the zucchini, the green beans, and the potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch dice, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the cabbage and the kale and cook the mixture, stirring, until the cabbage is wilted. Add the tomatoes and the broth and simmer the soup, covered, for 1 hour.
  • Drain the white beans, reserving the liquid, in a blender or food processor purée half of them with 1 cup of the reserved liquid, and stir the purée and the remaining white beans into the soup. Simmer the soup, uncovered, for 15 minutes, thin it if desired with some of the remaining reserve liquid, and season it with salt and pepper. The soup may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Reheat the soup, thinning it with water as desired. Serve the soup with the Parmesan, the bruschetta, and the sausages.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more nutritious and flavorful your minestrone will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, potatoes, green beans, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to use frozen or canned vegetables: Frozen or canned vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh vegetables, and they can save you time and money. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Add some beans or lentils for protein: Beans and lentils are a great way to add protein and fiber to your minestrone. Chickpeas, black beans, and kidney beans are all good options.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of your minestrone, so make sure it's flavorful. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even beef broth. If you're using a store-bought broth, be sure to read the label to make sure it's low in sodium.
  • Simmer your minestrone for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Season your minestrone to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of pesto for extra flavor.
