Preparation

How to prepare Savoy Cabbage and Potatoes

To make Savoy cabbage and potatoes, start by preparing the ingredients you will need: cut the cabbage in half 1, slice it into strips 2, and rinse it under running water. Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices about 1/4 inch thick 3.

Finally, clean and finely chop the leek 4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a saucepan suitable for oven use, add the leek 5 and sauté for a few minutes until tender, stirring often, then add the potatoes 6 and stir to prevent them from sticking to the bottom, let them flavor over medium heat.

After a few moments, add the cabbage 7 and stir again. At this point, pour the water into the saucepan 8, flavor with sage leaves 9,

salt 10, pepper, cover with the lid 11 and cook over medium-low heat for about 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, grate the scamorza cheese with a coarse grater 12.

After 20 minutes, remove the lid 13 and spread the scamorza cheese on the surface 14. Place the saucepan under the grill for 5 minutes, and then you can serve your Savoy cabbage and potatoes hot and steaming 15!

Storage

You can store Savoy cabbage and potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended.

Advice

If you wish, you can also add carrots or shallots to the preparation and flavor everything with lemon zest.

We recommend not lifting the lid too often, otherwise, the steam will disperse, and you will need to increase the cooking time.

If the preparation is still too brothy, continue cooking without the lid before the oven step.

Instead of scamorza, you can use Fontina cheese.
