My sauces & broth recipes

Sauces and broth are an important part of Italian cooking. When I say sauce here I'm not referring to pasta sauces, but rather meat sauces. Here are some recipes.

Fish broth – Brodo di pesce

This is a simple broth recipe to use in risotto recipes.

Green sauce – Salsa verde

Salsa Verde is a green sauce made with Italian parsley to be served with boiled meats. It is easy to make and really makes for a good sauce.

Hens Broth – Brodo di gallina

The base to many recipes this classic can be found in most any kitchen. As the saying goes, “An old hen makes good broth.”

Pearà

Pearà is a bread sauce made only for boiled meats. It takes a little time but it is well worth the effort. This is a classic dish in my region of Italy. It can be found on the menu of most restaurants or trattorias during the winter months.

Vegetable Broth – Brodo vegetale

This is the base broth for many risotto recipes in my site.
