VEGETABLE CHOWDER (Minestrone alla Milanese) Italian Recipe
VEGETABLE CHOWDER
(Minestrone alla Milanese)
Cut off the rind of ½ lb. salt pork and put it into two quarts of water to boil. Cut off a small slice of the pork and beat it to a paste with two or three sprigs of parsley, a little celery and one clove of garlic. Add this paste to the pork and water. Slice two carrots, cut the rib out of the leaves of ¼ medium sized cabbage. Add the carrots, cabbage leaves, other vegetables, seasoning and butter to the soup, and let it boil slowly for 2½ hours. The last ½ hour add one small handful of rice for each person.
When the pork is very soft, remove it and slice it in little ribbons and put it back into the soup.
Minestrone is equally good eaten cold.
