cavà

Cavà is a traditional Italian dish originating from the Veneto region, particularly in the province of Verona. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including meat, vegetables, and sometimes pasta. The dish is typically prepared with a combination of beef, pork, or veal, along with potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions. The meat is often seasoned with herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves, and the vegetables are cooked together until tender. The dish is then simmered in a flavorful broth, which can include red wine or beef stock. Cavà is often served with a side of polenta or risotto, and it is a popular choice for family gatherings and special occasions. The name "cavà" is derived from the Venetian dialect and translates to "cave" or "cellar," reflecting the dish's origins as a hearty, comforting meal often prepared in the kitchen or cellar of a home.
