Preparation
Brasato is a must for Italian cuisine and if prepared well is an exceptional dish. The basics for a successful outcome, in addition to choosing a suitable piece of meat, preparation and cooking time (long but necessary) and of course an excellent wine. First, prepare all the vegetables: peel off Peel carrot, garlic and onions, wash and cut into chunks big enough all the vegetables including celery with leaves. Let marinate the meat: take a large bowl and put in the Center the piece of meat, add all the vegetables, add the bay leaf, pepper, cloves and pour over the liter of red wine Barbera Capri farm. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate for 12 hours or overnight. Adequate time elapsed, remove the meat from the marinade and drain well. Set aside the vegetables and the wine you'll need for cooking.
Heat a large saucepan with the butter and a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, add the meat and Brown it over high heat until the meat is sealed on all sides. Drain the wine from the marinade and holding it aside and pour the rest into the casserole with the meat. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and add a little at a time, the wine used for pickling. Reduce the heat to a minimum, put a lid on the casserole and cook the meat for at least a couple of hours (slow cooking and long). Tip: If you cut the meat from the cold will prevent breakage that prepare the pot roast in advance. When the meat is cooked remove from the Pan and leave to cool and then slice it finely enough. Remove the Bay leaves and passed all the sauce with a vegetable mill or with a mixer that lets you blend even pepper and cloves. Put the sauce of braised in casserole, season with salt, then place on top the meat slices and heat over low heat before serving. Accompany Brasato with a slice of polenta or mashed fresh potatoes.
Enjoy your meal!
