Italian recipes - meat

Calf trotters salad

Chef Elio Mariani Italian recipe - restaurant Checchino 1887 – Rome

In 888 Duke Guido of Spoleto was refused as Frankish King because they learnt he had the appetite of a sparrow:  “A King who is satisfied by a modest meal cannot reign over us”.

Boil two legs of calf with celery, carrot, onion and cloves.  Bone and cut legs into small pieces. Put them still warm in a pot with boiled bean, cut olives, celery and carrot. Blend and flavour with salt, oil, a plentiful spoon of green sauce and, to please, a splash of vinegar. Serve lukewarm.

Ingredients for 4 people

2 legs of calf (split in half); 1 hectogram of borlotti bean already boiled; 10 olives; 1 heart of celery; 3 or 4 cloves; 2 carrots; 1 green spoon of tomato sauce; 2 spoons of extra virgin oil of olive
