Figalet

Figalet is a preparation made from liver (often pork or mixed), finely minced and flavored with local spices, garlic, pepper and sometimes wine. It is one of the most genuine expressions of the Veneto peasant tradition, where nothing of the animal was wasted. The mixture was stuffed into natural casings and cooked or seasoned briefly, taking on a firm consistency and a strong flavor. Figalet is generally eaten sliced as a rustic appetizer or cooked in a pan, paired with polenta and radicchio. Depending on the area, it can take variations with the addition of onion or field herbs. It is a product that enhances norcina wisdom and tells of a cuisine that enhances offal with flavor and identity.
