Let's eat Ribollita
Ribollita is a typical dish of the Tuscan culinary tradition, the recipe has its origins in the Middle Ages, a period in which it was prepared and consumed by the poorest strata of the population.
Today Ribollita is one of the most famous recipes of traditional Tuscan cuisine. It is a typical Tuscan winter dish, a semi-solid soup prepared with black cabbage and beans.
As mentioned, the ribollita has poor and peasant origins, a typical winter dish particularly useful for warming up on cold winter days; it is the direct descendant of the bread and vegetable soup, and was particularly widespread in the plain of Pisa and in the territories of Arezzo and Florence.
The "Istituto degli Innocenti" (Institute of the Innocents) in Florence has been working for nearly six centuries on behalf of the family and the child.
