Northern Italian here – our family version had some finely julliened carrots, fresh spinach, and provolone as part of the stuffing – much less garlic. Much longer braise too 3-4 hrs.until fork tender. Dang good 😂
I make at Christmas 🤶
Remember cotica pig skin, seasoned, tied, fried and put in spaghetti sauce!!
I use veal for braciole
Braciole i believe is Southern Italian
I made almost the same, however I add egg to the stuffing to hold stuffing together. Garlic salt ok too, the meat most store come pre-sliced if in a rush, if no twine string, I use tooth picks while cooling then prior to putting in sauce/gravy I take them out they are secure by then, bon a petite 👍
The Bear brought me here
That a Cardinals cap you got on?
Should have added mozzarella cheese to it
Is it tender looks brown
Is not Brazul.. is braciole. That is a southern dialect. Most immigrant came from the south.
Ok! It’s in the oven!!
I’m gonna try making this Sunday, I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Looks great. Can't wait to try. My Mom did a little different version. Thank you and I love the hat !
1 hour… 😆 🤣
First recipe I tried from Billy. The dude was spot on about how simple and great tasting this dish is. Love the quick prep and how the braise does all the work. Was nervous about the light seasoning for the sauce so added some Italian dried seasoning. Turned out great and might not have needed it- the meat flavored the sauce beautifully. Thanks Billy!
Where's the garlic?
I have ate this most of my life with pine nuts and raisins. As I have gotten older don’t have a taste for raisins anymore. Feel the dish still needs the sweet though more recently traded the raisins for sweet peppers works well for a replacement IMO
And in Malta we call them Bragioli
Looks like a nice simple recipe however there's a Salt fest going on there.
Great recipe. Out of all the ones I’ve looked at, yours is the one I’m going to choose. But…my god…that background music is annoying.
Nice recipe, but you're pronouncing it totally wrong. 😕 It's bra-cho-lay.
Such a ignorant you are. Braciolette pugliesi, check that seppo. Was an extremely easy task. Bragiolette/braciole you find video and tons of links. Please don't spread false information about italy. Stick to frigging US.
In addition you missed the important part of stuffing them with some kind of fat (pancetta for instance). You didn't nail the folding techinque, it needs additional lateral folds. And it's pecorino no parmigiano but this is not even the most important problem
I just made this as your ingredients and instructions. I did use my paste tomatoes from the garden. Thanks this is a perfect recipe and I served with polenta. My husband loves it. He said out of sight!! Thank you Billy Parisi!!
Awesome stuff – so yummy
Yum!!
I haven’t had this since I was a child. I made them for dinner while camping ⛺️. My husband and I love it. I made spaghetti 🍝 on the side. Will try it out on my family next Sunday dinner. Thank you! Yummy 😋
So I tried making this, and while the taste was incredible the meat was tough. I'm hoping for melt in your mouth meat. Should I cook for 2 hrs instead???
Chef,
Thank you for the good video, good lighting, video and audio, clear instructions and flow
Wanting to make this for 2021 Mother's Day today, just two questions
Out of your choices of meat (Top Round, Flank Steak, Skirt Steak, Sirloin) why did you pick Top Round Sirloin?
When slowing cooking the meat in the pan with the sauce, will the braciole get tougher the longer you cook it past one hour, or get softer?
Appreciate your time and effort to share this with all of us
They aren't S.Marzano DOP. Don't be fooled!
Butchers twine leaves too much fuzz! Use white cotton kitchen twine.
Wow
Very good, but I also tie the ends off to keep the stuffings in. It's also good to use "speck" italiano which is a smoked version of prosciuttto, (which can be a little tough to find), but Aldi has it, believe it or not! (don't use the American versions of prosciutto…usually too gamey.)
Very close to how my mom used to make these. Though I thought she added an egg to make the bread/cheese filling more like a paste that she spooned into place.
Hipster braciole 😝
Get it chef!
My family immigrated from Naples and the only difference is we added crumbled boiled egg to the stuffing mix and Romano cheese rather than Parmesian…
I need to add comments on all of your recipes i have been making!! Ok, so, yeah… this ONE ☝️ is GOLD!!! I am a pretty good cook, but this dish put me in the major leagues LOL it so so simple but honestly, it is wholesome and feeds the soul. This is great!
I made this last week for my family and some guests, AMAZING! I love the idea of the flavor in every bite, growing up we ate braciole as 1 big “loaf”. I was a bit skeptical about the sauce to be honest, but I stuck to your recipe and the sauce was so simple and out of this world delicious! Thank you for sharing.
My Sicilian aunt made this for me a while back using pork. The flavor was out of this world. I had my aunt show me step by step how she made them and made note of the recipe, which is similar to yours. I made it once and it was okay, but this video inspires me to give it another try.
I think you pretty much nailed the essence of the Braciole! Your recipe is almost exactly like my Mimi's. Bravo!
It looks good, but I think to much olive oil in the sauce pan. Also I would saute my garlic with oil and put some fresh basil. Good suff.
This live oks more like spadini. I enjoy your cooking, my mom was napaitano. I would buy my stuffed.
