Procedure

1

In a bowl combine 100 g of ground pork, 100 g of ground veal, 100 g of AIA Paesana Verzino sausage crumbled, 50 g of chopped raw ham, 50 g of chopped mortadella, 100 g of grated Parmigiano Reggiano and half a tablespoon of breadcrumbs. Adjust the salt and pepper and add a sprinkle of nutmeg. Mix all the ingredients well. Stuff the capon with the tortellini filling, tie or skewer the side of the neck from which you inserted the filling and transfer the capon to a baking dish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, some garlic cloves and some sprigs of rosemary.


2

Brush the capon with melted butter and bake at 200°C for 10 minutes then at 180°C for 2 hours. In the meantime, cut the sheet of egg pasta and fry it in boiling oil. When it is crispy, drain the pasta on a sheet of kitchen paper and prepare the pepper mayonnaise. Wash the peppers, remove seeds and internal filaments and roughly chop them. Put the peppers in the mixer, add half a clove of garlic, salt, pepper, the juice of half a lemon and blend everything, adding the oil in a thin stream as for a normal mayonnaise.


3

Shell the walnuts and put them in the mixer, add the milk, the grated Parmesan and a drizzle of oil. Blend until you get a cream. Put the boiled peas in the mixer glass, add a leaf of mint, salt, pepper and the oil. Blend until you get a cream.


4

Take the stuffed capon out of the oven and serve it with the fried pasta and the three sauces.
