> Chicken and rabbit "alla Cacciatora"
Pellegrino Artusi used to prepare "risotto alla cacciatora". If you have a little meat left over, try it: toast the rice in oil and butter, add the leftover meat and finish cooking the risotto with stock. Serve with plenty of Parmigiano Reggiano. | |

"Ciammotta" is a recipe that comes from the Basilicata region and is made up of vegetables sautéed separately in olive oil and mixed together, then accented with garlic. Some recipes call for the addition of an egg. | |

> Country style pie
In order to obtain a flaky crust avoid overworking, and thereby overheating, the butter when mixing the ingredients. For the same reason the dough should be chilled in the refrigerator once mixed. | |
