Italian Recipes using Pork

Italian cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Its roots can be traced back to the 4th century BC. The cuisine changed significantly with discovery of the New World which helped shape much of what is known as Italian cuisine today.

Ingredients and Italian dishes vary by regions in Italy. There are many significant regional dishes that have become both national and regional.

Friuli-Venezia Giulia shares many traditions with the bordering former Yugoslavia. Dishes made with pork are often eaten in this region and can be spicy and even prepared over an open hearth called the fogolar.

Filetto Baciato is the Piedmont regions style of prosciutto made from pork fillet or other lean portion of pork marinated in white wine, coated with a salami paste and stuffed into a casing to age for six months.

While pasta dishes find their way into the cuisine of Lazio, the region prides itself on being able to use the lesser known cuts of pork and beef in tasty dishes, with examples in preparations like the entrail-based pajata and coda alla vaccinara.

Pork is an integral part of the Basilicata's districts cuisine and is often made into sausages or roasted on a spit.
