todettuina

Todettuina is a traditional Italian dish originating from the Puglia region, particularly in the towns of Fasano and Ostuni. The name "todettuina" comes from the Italian word "todere," which means to chew, reflecting the dish's texture. It is a hearty stew made with a variety of ingredients, including pork, beef, and sometimes chicken, which are slow-cooked with vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes. The dish is often flavored with herbs like rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves, and seasoned with salt and pepper. Todettuina is typically served with polenta, a cornmeal-based dish, which complements the rich, savory flavors of the stew. The dish is known for its robust taste and is often enjoyed during colder months or as a comforting meal on chilly evenings. Todettuina is a staple in Puglian cuisine and is celebrated for its simplicity and the quality of its ingredients.
