Garbure (Cabbage and salt pork soup)
1 cabbage
1 pound salt pork
1/2 pint kidney beans, previously soaked
3 or 4 large potatoes
2 large carrots
1 large turnip
1 or 2 leeks
2 onions
1 clove garlic
a sprig thyme
salt and pepper
Blanch the cabbage and quarter it. Put it in a sauce pan with the
kidney beans, previously soaked, the potatoes, peeled and halved,
the sliced carrots, turnip, leeks, onions, garlic, and cover with
cold water. Season highly with salt and pepper. Simmer gently
for 1 1/2 hours. Then add the pork, and simmer for another hour,
or till the pork is quite tender. Put in each soup plate a slice
of bread, previously fried in a little butter to a golden color,
and pour the puree of vegetables over it. The pork is usually
served separately.
