We eat quite a few cuttlefish. (Sepia in Italy.) Here they were boiled with salt, garlic, and bay leaves. After being sliced up, we added mint, green onions, parsley, lemon, and olive oil.

Cabbage Rolls (again)

These are cheap and plentiful at this time of year.

That rib in the middle can be quite thick and doesn’t roll very well.

Just cut part of it out. Boiling the leaves for a couple of minutes makes them nice and floppy so they roll easily.

These were filled with a mixture of basmati rice, chopped meat, dill, and onion, but there are a lot of alternatives. At this point we filled the dish with chicken broth and it was ready for the oven.

These were in the oven for about an hour. (165C) Some raclette cheese was added in the last 15 minutes.
