It may not sound like the most intuititive dish but this homely recipe originating from Emilia-Romagna is one that should be part of your repertoire. It's not an elegant, dinner-party dish, but it is a comforting, homely dish, perfect for a family dinner or a night in – and the leftovers are even better. br / br /It is a dish that should be rushed; give it time but also don't let it out of your sight – milk has a tendency to reach a point where it evaporates quite quickly. br / br /Much like buttermilk chicken or yogurt marinades, cooking meat in milk gives you wonderfully tender results. The lactic acid present in milk tenderises the meat, making it juicy, sweet and also being a good vehicle to carry other flavours. br / br /As the milk comfortingly bubbles away for hours, it begins to curdle, turning into a ricotta-like mass, becoming nutty and flavoursome after all the mingling with the onion, garlic and prosciutto. br / br /All the classics of Italian cuisine include this dish and there are different ways to make this, with slightly different results. Pellegrino Artusi instructs to cook the milk until it boils away completely. Elizabeth David has the milk reduced until there is just “a small cupful of all the delicious little bits of bacon and onion.” David nominates coriander seed, majoram, basil or fennel, ground, as a rub to spice up the pork. Others may use bay leaf, sage or rosemary. A peeled zest of lemon rind commonly appears. Artusi doesn't even mention any herbs but keeps his simple: pork and milk accompanied by bread, grilled over a fire, to soak up the saucy bits. Marcella Hazan's Bologna style maiale al latte is as simple as Artusi's – no herbs, no garlic. As essential as you can get. She adds the milk bit by bit, allowing it to cook down each time to a nutty, caramel colour before adding more. br / br /A must for cooking this dish is a heavy-bottomed cast iron pan or casserole pot for nicely even, slow cooking. Avoid nonstick pans. You just won't get the goodness that comes from the onion and ham browning on the bottom of the pan. br / br /Traditional recipes use loin but shoulder – a relatively cheap cut – will result in a much more tender meat with this style of cooking. br / br /This recipe is largely influenced by Elizabeth David's recipe from Italian Food (1954).

This rendition of Florentine spaghetti with red onions is so superlative, it has remained on the menu at Locanda Vini e Olii since the restaurant opened in Brooklyn in 2001 Michele Baldacci, the chef and co-owner, recommends a mixture of white and red onions for a more delicate, saucy result, and cooking them in a covered pot so they slowly braise in olive oil and their own juices The sweetness of the onions is accented by tarragon and black pepper, plus optional grated cheese (which can be omitted for vegan diners)
