variklio

Variklio 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 pork, beef, or veal, along with vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions. The dish is typically slow-cooked in a flavorful broth, which may include wine, tomatoes, and herbs like rosemary and thyme. Variklio is often served with polenta, a cornmeal-based dish, which complements the rich flavors of the stew. The name "variklio" is derived from the Venetian dialect, where "vari" means "mixed" or "varied," reflecting the diverse ingredients used in the dish. This stew is a staple in Venetian cuisine and is enjoyed for its comforting and robust flavors.
