Casoncelli (casonsèi in dialect) is the Brescian variant of stuffed
ravioli, present in almost all of northern Italy. They can be meat or
vegetable, and served with melted butter, sage and abundant Parmesan. They are
among the most popular and most loved dishes. They are found in all the
restaurants in the province and in the village festivals.
Risotto with loertis (wild asparagus) is a good first course that is mainly cooked in spring, when it is possible to find loertis. The preparation is very simple, just follow the usual risotto procedure (using a vegetable broth) and when there are ten minutes left to cook, add the loertis. When the risotto is ready, stir in butter and parmesan cheese.
I loertis vengono, inoltre, utilizzati spesso anche nelle frittate.
Loertis is also often used in omelettes.
The spit is a way of cooking game,
usually rabbit, chicken and birds. The meat, cut into medium-sized pieces, is
skewered on iron skewers (hence the name) and cooked very slowly at a constant
temperature for about five or six hours. The pieces of meat are alternated with
bacon and vegetables such as onions, potatoes and peppers. During cooking, the
meat is brushed with melted butter and various aromas to give it flavor. When
cooked, it is served with polenta (a dish of boiled cornmeal) and a good
red wine.
