Tuscan Style Ribollita

This Tuscan style ribollita appeared in last month's BBC Good Food magazine and originally featured back in September 2021.

Save up stale bread and transform it into this thick, chunky, delicious stew, which is low in fat and calories, and showcases tomatoes, beans and cavolo nero or kale.

The end result is a delicious Tuscan bread soup that is so full of flavour...it's comforting and hearty and perfect for heating you up on a cold day (it was snowing the day this was made earlier this month!).

Tips

  • It’s important to use a stale crusty bread because it needs to be slightly robust – as the stew cooks, the bread absorbs the liquid and transforms into pillowy, dumpling-like chunks. If it’s too fresh, it will turn into soggy paste.
  • Garnishes – try different flavours to garnish this Tuscan style ribollita, eg: chopped parsley, finely diced red onion, rendered smoked bacon lardons or quartered cherry tomatoes.
