Method

  1. Arrange the turnip slices on a rack over a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt, cover them with a dish, and let them stand for about 2 hours until the water has run out of them.
  2. Put the slices in a frying pan, and fry them slightly in butter until softened.
  3. Add the gravy and tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes, then pour it into the boiling stock.
  4. Boil for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Minestra loses its flavour if it is boiled too long. In Lombardy, however, rice, macaroni, etc., are rarely boiled enough for English tastes.
