The “Galletto Briaco”

Leave the cockerel to hang for a night in the wine with the ingredients described above.

The next day, put the Galletto in a well-oiled casserole and fry for a few minutes to colored.

Cook over medium heat for 40/50 minutes, adding wine to prevent it from burning.

After cooking mix the gravy with the flour. You will get an excellent sauce accompaniment.

Serve with a side dish of stewed radicchio.

Spicy Galletto in roasting bag

Place every Galletto into a roasting bag. Insert all the spices, chopped garlic and rosemary into the bags. Knot bag loosely and shake gently so the Galletto will be totally covered by spices. Pierce the top of the bag twice with a fork so that steam can rise. Place on a baking tray and put in the oven at 392° F. Roast in centre of oven for 50 minutes or until cooked.

Saffron Galletto Vallespluga

This recipe, though slightly revised, comes from the Cape Verde Islands. With these ingredients you’ll get a simple and tasty traditional dish with a twist.

Start by finely slicing the onion, garlic and carrots and seasoning the Galletto with salt and pepper.

Add oil to a pan and gently fry the onion and garlic. After a few minutes, add the Galletto halves to the pan and brown on all sides.

Next, dissolve the saffron in water in a bowl, then pour into the pan and add the carrots and tomato sauce. Cover and cook for 45 minutes over low heat.

Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into not very small pieces, add them to the rest with the chilli (which you will then remove) and continue cooking for another 25 minutes over low heat. If the cooking sauce dries too much, add a little water. At the end of cooking you will get a fairly thick sauce. Serve the Galletto accompanied by its sauce with vegetables.
