“Ju Pappaciuccu” is a typical dish from the Subiaco area, very simple in terms of ingredients but really tasty. To prepare it, you need:
- 1 kg of black cabbage
- 4-5 medium potatoes
- 1 corn cake
- olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- chili pepper
- salt
Preparation
Start by boiling the black cabbage in salted water, after cleaning it thoroughly, together with the potatoes, with their skins on after washing them well. Drain the black cabbage and wait until the potatoes are also well cooked, then drain them too, remove the skins and mash them with a fork.
In a frying pan, fry the garlic in olive oil and chili pepper.
When the garlic is golden brown, add the mashed potatoes and boiled black cabbage, season with salt and finally add pieces of corn pizza, which are mixed together with the broccoli and potatoes.
The corn pizza is made by boiling water with a little salt (it tastes even better if you use the water used to cook the black cabbage)…. Make a well in the corn flour and slowly add the water to knead the dough until it forms a pizza about 20 cm in diameter and 2-3 cm high. Traditionally, it is cooked on a grill placed over the embers of a fireplace, or alternatively in the oven at 200°C for about 10-15 minutes. It is crispy on the outside and softer on the inside.
