Buoyed up with my successful potato dig yesterday I cut some leaves from my now rapidly growing cavolo nero "black cabbage" today as some of them are now developing a distinctive bubbly surface.
I cooked them down in olive oil with onions and garlic ,added in some left over mince and puy lentils , and had the dish with some more of the purple skinned potatoes , fresh mint and butter ... yum.
Must say I much preferred it to the kale that I tried yesterday which although only small leaves was fairly chewy. The cavolo cooks down more like spinach and chard ,which is very ok by me.

My Cavolo Nero last year, was quite frankly,a disaster. This year looks a little more hopeful not quite ready for cutting yet.
I've got to get some of these for next year. I was given some cabbage plants last year a few of which turned out to be Cavolo Nero, they were excellent, grew well with no diseases or insect damage.
