DISCOVER THE RESTAURANTThe story of the Buon Ricordo Restaurants is a long one of excellence. Founded in 1964 by Dino Villani with the aim of bringing prestige and notoriety to the various local establishments that make the Italian gastronomic tradition their strong point.
Those who joined the Unione del Buon Ricordo were happy to undertake the practice of serving typical local cuisine. The idea was to keep a special and local dish on the menu all year round, a speciality” that was to be its best representation and quality.
This pork fillet speciality is prepared with typical Umbrian ingredients, starting with the indigenous red onion and moving on to the Sagrantino sauce, the king among the wines of the Umbrian hills.
These ingredients mixed in harmony with local spices and herbs make this dish a ‘unicum’ of regional cuisine.
The guinea fowl is a bird that is halfway between the white meat of the turkey and the red meat of the pheasant. In this recipe, the guinea fowl breast is used and flavoured with light notes of juniper, cubes of bacon and local spices. A unique dish for its simplicity and the quality of its ingredients.
Add some potatoes, fennel, salt, pepper and garlic to the whole rabbit. Leave everything to gain flavour in a container with oil. Then start to cook and when half cooked remove it from the heat, fill the already salted rabbit meat with the same ingredients that were used for seasoning at the beginning of the cooking process.
Put the rabbit, thus prepared, into a pan and let it cook on a low flame for three hours, adding half a glass of white wine.
