Province of Nuoro

In the gastronomy of the District of Nuoro, "pane carasau" bread, besides being taken daily as new bread, is also served as a typical dish in the form of "pane frattau" bread - that is "pane carasau" bread dipped in water or broth and then seasoned in tomato sauce, "pecorino" cheese and poached eggs - or in the form of "pane guttiau" bread - that is warmed-up "pane carasau" bread seasoned with few drops of oil and a bit of salt.

Hors d'oeuvres include mountain-ham, wild boar ham, various salted meats and local sausages.

Among the meat-based dishes, we shall remember roast sucking-pig, roast lamb and some variety meats (animals' entrails), such as "trattalia" and "sa ventredda".
