Potato croquettes with black cabbage and gorgonzola
Baked potato croquettes with black cabbage and gorgonzola are a fanciful antipasto.
Ingredients for potato croquettes with black cabbage and gorgonzola
2 medium-size potatoes
40 g of spicy gorgonzola
1 bunch of black cabbage, about 100 g
salt, pepper
olive oil
Preparation
Peel the potatoes and dice them. Cover them with water and cook over medium heat in a small pot. In the meantime, wash and clean the black cabbage. Using a knife, remove the stalks.
Cut the leaves into small pieces and cook with the potatoes until these are tender and the cabbage has absorbed almost all the cooking water.
Cut the gorgonzola and add it to the other ingredients. Cover a tray with greaseproof paper and brush with olive oil. Use a spoon to make the croquettes.
Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes. Let them cool down and serve.

The world of cinema recognises the link between food choices and the climate crisis by offering vegan menus for awards season events, including at the most important of them all: the Oscars.

Their lands hum with biodiversity, yielding nutritious foods that have sustained families for generations. Wandering among fruit and nut trees and crops, these indigenous agroforesters fill their baskets
Mint has many health benefits, but in food it’s often accompanied by artificial green colourings. Instead, Galatea has created a green mint ice cream in a completely natural way.
We’re talking about Galatea, a company that produces semi-finished products for artisanal ice creams using high quality ingredients, natural colouring, excluding thickeners and hydrogenated fats, respecting the environment and supporting the less fortunate.
The mad rush to fake food, like fake meat made with genetically-modified soy, ignores the importance of the diversity of our foods and culinary cultures. It’s a recipe to accelerate the destruction of the Planet and our health.
Like with all foods, the quality of an ice cream can be discerned by reading its label. An expert explains how to do this, and tells us how their company steers clear of chemicals, using only natural ingredients to produce an excellent and “free” ice cream.
Quality ingredients, no artificial colouring and hydrogenated fats. These are the main features of a great ice cream. But what makes an ice cream parlour “good”, i.e. sustainable?
