I have it. I'll give you the ingredients and the basic instructions but I don't have it stored
in a file to send you.
Minestrone Alla Romagnona
1 lb fresh zucchini
1/2 C evoo
3T butter
1 C sliced onions
1C diced carrots
1C diced celery
2 C peeled, diced potatoes
1/4 lb fresh green beans
3 C shredded Savoy cabbage or regular cabbage
1.5 C canned cannellini beans, drained
6 C Basic Home made Meat Broth or 2 C canned beef broth plus
4 C water
Crust from 1-2 lb piece of parm cheese (she says optional but I say
it's pretty necessary)
2/3 C canned imported Italian tomatoes with their juice
salt
1/3 C grated parm
The directions are the usual, sauteing the veggies in the oil. She does them in layers starting with the onion and ending with the cabbage. Then add the broth and tomatoes. Cover and simmer 2.5 hours, then add the beans. Soup should be fairly dense. When done, remove the crust and swirl in the parm. Like so many of these things it is best the next day. Keeps a week, she says.
