Rustida
Rustida is a Piedmontese preparation of mixed meats, cooked in saucepan with onion, tomato and broth.

It is a preparation suitable for a substantial lunch or dinner, when you want to bring to the table a rich sauce and a soft consistency, bound by a thick sauce. The balance comes from the contrast between the delicacy of the loin, the more intense notes of the offal and the savouriness of the Italian sausage, while onion, butter, and tomato add roundness and flavor. The broth helps sustain the cooking without covering the ingredients and contributes to the final seasoning. Rustida is a traditional Piedmontese dish.
