Faraona con Peverada

This dish is the gastronomic speciality of Treviso, a charming town not far from Venice. It is also famous for its radicchio, which the local restaurants serve cooked in hundreds of different ways, and sopressa, a local type of salami.

Guinea fowl is an elegant bird, which somehow tastes more like pork than chicken. This is an easy-to-prepare Sunday lunch which I make using speck rather than sopressa.
