Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Simmer the meat in gently boiling water at low heat (80-90°C) to keep it moist and tender, not tough.
  • Both the meat and the sauce must be thoroughly chilled in the refrigerator before serving to enjoy the full flavor.
  • If veal is unavailable, lean beef cuts like eye of round or top round work well for this cold boiled meat dish.

Recommended for

  • Those preparing a menu for a special wine gathering or gourmet home party.
  • Those who want to recreate a traditional cold meat dish in the style of a fine Italian restaurant.
  • Those who want to experience the unique combination of cold, lean meat with a savory tuna sauce.
