Meatloaf Brasciole
O.k..........it's been a long time since I've posted a meat recipe on the blog and I'm just a little excited to share this one. It's definitely not your typical, boring meatloaf recipe! "Brasciole" are, basically, thin slices of meat rolled around a filling and cooked with or without tomato sauce/wine. There can be many different variations, and you may sometimes see them referred to as "Involtini".
As a child, I loved my gramma's version! She baked hers on skewers and served them along with tomato sauce, but not in the sauce; they were delicious!! My kids grew up enjoying the same recipe! (Note to self.....share gramma's brasciole recipe on the blog in the future!) I've made variations that are also delicious.
So, what is "Meatloaf Brasciole", you ask? Well, you mix several yummy ingredients together to make the meatloaf base and, then, you layer on a few more yummy ingredients, roll the whole thing up into this delicious loaf and, there you have it........meatloaf, all dressed up, Italian-style!!

Pork Filettino
Today I'm sharing my slight adaptaton of one of Olive Garden's main dish recipes....Pork Filettino. The pork is juicy and tender and the veggies are sweet and delicious after being roasted. If the weather is cooperating, go ahead and grill the pork outside; if not, use a stovetop grill. It works great!
This recipe delivers a lot of flavor, without using a ton of ingredients. And you can have it on the table in an hour. I added a side of sauteed broccolini with lemon and garlic to round out the meal.....DELICIOUS!!

Polpettone ( Italian American Meatloaf )
Today there wouldn't be time to make a run to the grocery store but, since I couldn't cancel dinner, I had to figure out what I could make with ingredients I had on hand. I found a package of beef, pork, and veal combination in the freezer and thought of meatloaf . I began looking through a few Italian cookbooks for a recipe and came upon one in Lidia's Italy in America by Lidia Bastianich. It looked like I had all the ingredients. . .so. . . meatloaf it would be. I made some cheesy, garlic, spinach mashed potatoes and a salad to go alongside. Got a thumbs up from everyone. Success !!
