valpellinentze soup

52 weeks project: 43/52 weeks

Ingredients:
1/2 savoy cabbage
50g butter
500g fontina
2l beef stock
1/2 loaf of sourdough wholemeal bread
grated nutmeg
1 pinch of cinnamon

Preparation:
Stew the cabbage, slice the bread and toast it in the butter or just in the oven for a healthier option. Cover the bottom of a baking casserole with bread slices, then layer over cabbage and sliced fontina with a few knobs of butter on top (I've used a potato peeler to get quicker knobs!). 
Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients. Ideally you should end with a layer of fontina&butter. Pour over the stock, grate some nutmeg on top and dust some cinnamon.
Preheat the oven at 180˚ and bake for 40 minutes. 

Tips: slice the bread as evenly as possible; don't pour the stock up to the edges of the casserole otherwise it will bubble out while cooking and you'll have the bottom of the oven cover in broth...
