topparea

Topparea 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 base of beef or veal, which is slow-cooked with onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. The meat is then combined with a tomato-based sauce, which may include canned tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine. The stew is often seasoned with herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves, and may include additional ingredients like mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini. Topparea is typically served with polenta or rice, and is often accompanied by a side of bread. The dish is known for its rich, comforting flavor and is a popular choice for family gatherings and special occasions.
