Local Recipes in Lake Como

Brasato hails from Piedmont, where it comes in several variations but always boils down to "braised meat".

The northern regions have such an affinity for polenta that the residents are referred to as "polentoni" (big polentas) but they don't care; they have a lot of ways to enjoy the dish.

This traditional recipe is a great combination of local products and regional gastronomic know-how.
