Costine al lavécc

Valmalenco

Il lavécc è una pentola ottenuta dalla pietra ollare, una formazione rocciosa di colore verde opaco tipica della Valmalenco. Utilizzando il lavécc si ottiene una cottura lenta e naturale, che permette agli alimenti di mantenere intatti i principi nutritivi.

 

INGREDIENTI PER 4 PERSONE

  • 1kg di costine di maiale
  • 1/2 lt di vino rosso valtellinese
  • erbe aromatiche (timo, basilico)
  • 1 spicchio di aglio
  • sale e pepe

PREPARAZIONE

Ponete le costine in un lavécc e fatele rosolare per circa 10 minuti fino a che non saranno ben abbrustolite avendo cura di rigirarle di tanto in tanto per evitare che si brucino; non aggiungere nessun condimento in quanto il grasso della carne stessa si scioglierà con il calore. Cospargete le costine con le erbe aromatiche, il pepe e l'aglio macinato, irrorate il tutto con il vino e lasciate cuocere a fuoco basso per circa un' ora e mezza.
