Moroccan Cavolo Nero Stew Recipe
As a family, we believe in meatless Mondays. This Moroccan cavolo nero recipe is our go-to meatless Monday dish. It is, in my opinion, the best and healthiest way to start a new week. Meatless Monday is a movement that encourages people to reduce their meat consumption. The founder's claim will lead to people eating more plant-based throughout their week.
I for one, believe in meatless Mondays and this cavolo nero recipe is the perfect plant-based recipe and it tastes really good as well. Lacinato kale or, in Italian and often in English, cavolo nero is a variety of kale with a long tradition in Italian cuisine, especially that of Tuscany. It is also known as Tuscan kale, Italian kale, dinosaur kale, kale, flat back kale, palm tree kale, or black Tuscan palm. Lacinato kale has been grown in Tuscany for centuries and is one of the traditional ingredients of minestrone and ribollit.
The health benefits of cavolo nero are off the chart and for one, it contains more vitamin C than a whole orange. Making this cavolo nero recipe, the perfect winter companion. Although, we enjoy this recipe throughout the year. Cavolo nero is perfect in salads, soups, stews, and any recipe calling for kale.
