Long-simmered cabbage provides a sweet flavor for this bruschetta. The wine-braised cabbage is adapted from a recipe in "Cooking From an Italian Garden," by Paola Scaravelli and Jon Cohen. If you don't cook with wine, substitute vegetable stock, chicken stock or water for the wine. You could also top the bruschetta with a simpler cabbage sauté, but I love the sweet flavor of the long-simmered cabbage.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add leeks. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Stir in cabbage and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add dissolved tomato paste and paprika and stir together. Add white wine, Parmesan rind and salt to taste, bring to a simmer, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring from time to time, for about 20 to 25 minutes, until cabbage is soft and sweet. Remove Parmesan rind. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Remove from heat.
- Lightly toast the bread and rub with the cut clove of garlic. Top with the cabbage, sprinkle with Parmesan and with dill if desired, and serve.
