Italian Food Recipes

Some days ago I show you the Christmas Eve Menu that is traditionally prepared in my family for the Christmas Eve dinner, now I want to present you the typical Italian recipes that in my family are prepared for the Christmas Lunch. Whereas the Christmas Eve Menu is composed of fish based Italian recipes the Christmas lunch menu is a meat based menu whose recipes comes from Salerno. The appetizer is constituted of a variety of Italian salumi in particular raw ham, salami, coppa (seasoned pork shoulder) and ham. The first course is constituted of typical big Christmas ravioli stuffed with meat of veal and pork, ricotta and provolone cheese ( a traditional Italian cheeses) and seasoned with a delicious tomato sauce. The second course is a tasteful stuffed capon accompanied with peas and ham and to conclude a dessert composed of sweet Christmas biscuits stuffed with chestnut, chocolate and coffee. These recipes are not hard but they need some times to be prepared with them the result will be surely excellent! The lunch can be accompanied with a delicious red wine Costa D’Amalfi and a sweet Moscato for the dessert! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
