Liberated from the fibrous and resistant mid-rib, the rest of the green-black leaf, with its embossed, bubble-wrap texture, is more satisfying to cook.
If you want to eat it raw, the leaves need to be massaged aggressively with salt and oil to relax the fibers. Once massaged, cavolo nero is great with sliced orange, fennel and oven-baked olives.
