Hamburgers with Scarola Stufata
In the area of Naples, they make a delicious dish called ‘scarola stufata’.
It has a ton of olive oil and almost no protein but god if that’s delicious!
Even though the original is harder to make as tasty using less olive oil, I tried my best, with this recipe to recreate a very similar taste.
This recipe will add also a lot of fiber to your diet. In case you don’t know, endive is a vitamin powerhouse too!
In this dish, there are around 300g of endive which will give you around 900% of your daily intake of vitamin K!
Besides that, you get 120% of vitamin A and almost 100% of folate!
This is what I call eating healthy and delicious! It’s possible and this is what I’m trying to do with this project.
