This week's Resolution Recipe: Meat croquettes, or rather dumplings and ravioli.

Take skinned pork belly, boiled, and mince it thoroughly with a knife: take a good quantity of savory herbs, and pound them thoroughly in a mortar: put some fresh cheese on top of this and a bit of flour, and dilute it with egg whites, until it is stiff. And take a good quantity fresh pork fat, put it in a pan, until it boils, and make croquettes out of this; and once it has been cooked and taken out, put sugar on it.
Anonimo Toscano, late 14^th - early 15^th c.

This week's Resolution Recipe: Cervellata.
I am teaching a class at the next Culinary Symposium on this (mostly) non-meat sausage, so this was a first pass testing the interpretation.

To make cervellata. He who wants to make a sausage, take bread crumbs and grated cheese and eggs and spices, and put it in a gut, and get a needle and pierce it, and make it boil and cook in water, and then roast it in among the bread, if you like that. (Due Libre B, early 15^th c.)

This week's Resolution Recipe: Tonno Fresco coi Piselli (Fresh Tuna with Peas).

"Tuna, a fish from the mackerel family, is native to the Mediterranean basin... On account of its oiliness, its flesh is reminiscent of pork, and therefore is not easy to digest." -Pellegrino Artusi, Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well, 1891.

This week's Bonus Resolution Recipe: Good sausage with pork or other meat.
The Saluminati had a meeting at Beltane for five years. Some of them were wildly successful both in attendance and inspiration. Unfortunately, it did not continue when I stopped making it happen. I didn't have the bandwidth to push it, and if it couldn't happen without my input then it clearly wasn't sustainable. Still a bit sad though.
With that in mind, here's a bonus Beltane Resolution Recipe.
