lesso
boiled meat
From the verb lessare, to boil or stew.
In Lazio, the boiled beef is used in homey dishes such as lesso rifatto con i carciofi or con i carducci.
In Verona they make lesso e pearà: boiled beef served in a peppery (peara or pearà) sauce made with broth, marrow, butter, bread crumbs, and black pepper.
