Navone cabbage and how to prepare it, the recipe
Navone cabbage and how to prepare it, the recipe.
The other day my friend Giulio, an expert horticulturist and attentive connoisseur of products from our Ligurian land, gave me a Navone cabbage, a large tuber of the cabbage family whose large root is eaten. This vegetable should not be confused with kohlrabi or celeriac or Verona celery. It resembles the latter even if it is more elongated but it is something else. Honestly I have seen many types of roots and tubers all over the world but I don't remember ever having seen a Navone cabbage before. My friend told me that this root has a sweetish taste and before trying to cook it, I boiled a slice and tasted it. Cooked, it is very white in color, compact, with a delicate and slightly sweetish taste.
I sliced this root into slices about half a centimeter thick and boiled them in hot salted water for a few minutes.
Then I prepared a light and rather liquid béchamel and placed a layer of slices of turnip on the bottom of a baking pan, greased with olive oil, I covered them with a little of this béchamel and a light sprinkling of grated parmesan. I made a second layer and added, after the béchamel and the parmesan, a further sprinkling of grated bread. Finally I added a little olive oil and baked at 180° for about twenty minutes. This is an excellent side dish but with the addition of a little mozzarella in cubes on top of each layer, it can become an excellent single dish and a way to revalue ancient, simple and genuine products.

I want to give you some advice for shopping: to prepare Asian rice I normally use this rice cooker, to cut this knife set Victorinox and Asian foods are almost always served in these bowls in ceramic.

Semplicemente lesso con olio e sale, oppure insieme alla pasta al pesto. L’ho anche fatto in tortino gratinato con burro e formaggi di recupero, previa scottatura.
Io lo mangio tutti gli inverni bollito mischiato alle patate e condito con sale aceto e olio. Molto buono amche a fette bollite poi impanate e fritte!
Penso proprio pre questo motivo in tempo di guerra veniva chiamato “a vitella dell’Arpixella” aveva salvato dalla fame gli abitanti di Alpicella bellissima frazione di Varazze dove è molto coltivato. Ottime anche il ciuffetto delle foglie sempre bollite
A Uscio è conosciuto: veniva bollito a fette nell’acqua dove cuocere una pasta tipica del posto che sono i ” batolli ” (specie di tagliatelle di farina di castagne) e poi il tutto condito con pesto. In dialetto “batolli con i naiun”
Ia mamma lo usava insieme a trofie e/o battolli al pesto con patate e fagiolini. I Nauin
