Spiedo Bresciano

Spiedo is a traditional dish originating from the province of Brescia, and it is especially popular in the Lake Garda area. It consists of different types of meat such as pork, beef, chicken, and rabbit, skewered with potato sliced and sage leaves. In the past, the dish was made with small birds such as finches and meadow larks, but there are new laws that don’t allow hunting them anymore. The meat and potatoes are seasoned with salt, then drizzled with butter before they are slowly cooked on the revolving spit (often up to 5 hours).
