Cavolo Nero?

[Guest guest]

I just checked the Rogers Gray Italian Country Cookbook out of the library.

It seems like every other recipe calls for cavolo nero. Any idea what this

might be called here in the US. There is no photo of this vegetable in the

book, or any good description of it. Is it anything like what my local co-op

sells as Russian kale? TIA

Karin:

You're testing us, aren't you? I couldn't find this in the Epicurious

dictionary, but I did find it at this site with a recipe:

http://italianfood.about.com/food/italianfood/library/rec/blr0108.htm?iam=dpile & \

terms=cavolo+nero

 

 

Tuscans make this hearty winter soup with cavolo nero, a long-leafed variety of

winter cabbage whose leaves are a very dark purplish green. If you cannot find

cavolo nero, use the tender small leaves of black-leaf kale.
