Livio Colapinto
"This is about fornello pronto a butcher that turns into a grill master at dusk. Coming from the old tradition of serving a nourishing affordable meat dish to poor people, the butcher's wood-fired oven essentially functioned as the public oven of the town. The preparations are many, - and fancy steaks are possible these days - but in the past, it was all about offals, fresh sausage, and pork belly. Gnumereddi is a mixture of lamb’s organs – sweetbreads, liver, spleen, etc – seasoned with salt, bay leaf, and parsley, rolled up and tied with the animal’s intestines. Bombette instead is skewered breaded slices of veal rolled up with garlic, pepper, and caciocavallo cheese and carefully roasted. Recipe changes from town to town, butcher to butcher across Apulia's backbone between Bari and Brindisi. "
