About Minestrone
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Jamie Oliver’s minestrone brings onion, carrot, celery and seasonal greens together with tinned tomatoes, beans and dried pasta. His version uses a vegetable stock cube, then finishes with cheese and extra virgin olive oil.
Garlic and bay leaves go into olive oil before the onions. Roughly diced carrots and celery follow, along with finely chopped tougher stalks from the greens, and the mixture cooks until softened and caramelised.
The stock cube and broken-up tomatoes join the base with water. The beans go in with their liquid, followed by sea salt and black pepper; their canning liquid remains part of the soup.
Shredded greens, more water and the dried pasta are added for the covered simmer. Cooking continues until the pasta is just cooked and the soup has thickened to the desired consistency.
Parmesan is Oliver’s finish in the method, while the ingredient list also offers Grana Padano or a vegetarian alternative. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil completes the soup, with crusty bread served alongside.
