Il Bollito Misto Dinner at Amici Miei Ristorante on Jan. 19

[jammin]

Before the Ferrari, the Fiat and that cute gal from the pictures, Sophia Loren, there was bollito misto.

The Oxford Companion to Italian Food describes bollito misto as “the familiar ‘boiled dinner’ made from one or more pieces of meat simmered together and separately to create a rich and distinctive blend of flavors. A staple of Piedmont regional cuisine, the big flavors and variety that bollito misto offers is best enjoyed the traditional way: among groups of friends and family.

Getting it right takes quite a bit of prep as you can see here. So consider joining us at Amici Miei Ristorante in Potomacas we celebrate a dinner tradition that's been popular in Italy for centuries, that you don't quite see around everyday in these parts.
