OUThis is my Live to 100 Minestrone 💙
This dish is comforting. delicious and packed full of vegetables and legumes. It’s also a great example of why Sardinia is one of only five Blue Zones in the world and why people here are more likely to live to 100 years old! This, of course, is because of many factors, but one in particular is our diet which is full of simple, seasonal, local ingredients.
Even today, minestrone is still something that we eat very often. My advice would be to use my recipe as a guide but try to make it seasonal and make it your own, just like we do in Sardinia. Sometimes, to add some carbs, we also add fregula, a type of pasta similar to giant cous cous.
You can find this recipe as well as over 90 authentic Sardinian and family recipes in my new cookbook Eat Like A Sardinia, Live to 100 💙 You can pre-order your copy via the link in bio 📘👆
I’m so grateful to everyone who has already pre-ordered it as you’re helping the book get seen, stocked and supported. If you haven’t ordered yours already and you are able to pre-order it now that would mean a lot (and you don’t have to pay until publication!).
