My adorable little Italian Grandmother made fricassea at least once a week. Her fricassees, a meat dish halfway between a saute and a stew, would vary depending on what was in season. She would often feed this to me as my after-school snack with a big crusty piece of bread. I miss those days so much! I enjoy cooking this one-pot wonder because I can be creative with the ingredients, yet it always turns out fabulous! Pair this recipe with a savory glass of Poggio Grande’s Piano, a 100% Sangiovese from Tuscany.
