Braciolone is an Italian roulade meat dish consisting of braised beef, veal or pork that is filled with cheese, salami, hard-boiled eggs, and breadcrumbs and then rolled. [1] [2] [3] It is typically served topped with a tomato-based sauce. [1] Various additional ingredients can be used, such as garlic, parsley, walnuts, and pork lard, among others. [1] [4] The hard-boiled eggs are sometimes placed in the center of the roll, which provides a "bull's-eye" appearance when the dish is sliced. [2] It has been described as a large-sized braciola-style dish. [3] [5]
Braciolone is also a dish in Sicilian cuisine and the cuisine of the U.S. state of Louisiana. [4] [6] [7] [8]
