Grandma Bellino Italian Gravy Recipe

Charlie Scorsese Makes Gravy in Goodfellas

by Martin Scorsese

GRAVY

My grandmother simply
called this tasty meat sauce Gravy.
It’s made with Veal Shank, chunks of pork shoulder, and Sweet Italian Sausages
braised with a bit of wine and tomatoes. You need long slow cooking to get the
meat tender, and you end up with a hearty, extremely tasty Gravy that everyone will love. All those except people who don’t
eat meat, or don’t eat pork. Well, “Sorry for them,” they don’t know what they’re
missing! As for you, make it, serve it, and relish it!

1 Veal Shank

2 pounds Pork Shoulder
Meat cut into 2” cubes

1 large Onion, peeled
and minced

8 cloves Garlic, peeled
and minced

2 carrots, peeled and
minced fine

2 stalks Celery, washed
& minced fine

¼ cup White Wine

5 – 28 cans Crushed
Tomatoes

3 tablespoons Tomato
Paste

1 Bay Leaf, ½ a teaspoon
Red Pepper Flakes

2 pounds Sweet Italian
Sausages

Season the Veal Shank on
both sides with salt & black pepper. Place half the Olive Oil in a 8-quart
non-corrosive pot and brown the veal shanks on high heat until the veal is nice
and golden brown on both sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from pot and set
aside.

Season the Pork Shoulder
meat with Salt & Pepper. Add Pork to the pot and brown over high heat in
two separate batches.

Once all the meat is nicely browned, remove from pot and set aside. Add onions, celery, and garlic
to pot and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.

Season the onions with a bit of salt & pepper. Add wine to pan and cook on high heat while scraping
the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This will dislodge and brown bits
that have a lot of flavor from the bottom of the pan (deglazing). Cook until
the wine is reduced by half its original volume.

Put all the Veal Shank & Pork back in the pot. Add crushed tomatoes, Bay Leaf, Red Pepper flakes,
and tomato paste to pot. Fill an empty tomato can with water and put the water
in the pot. Bring all to the boil, then lower flame to a low simmer.

Simmer for 2 hours 15
minutes, stirring and scrapping the bottom of the pan occasionally with a wooden
spoon so the sauce doesn’t stick.

After the sauce has been simmering for 90 minutes, brown the sausages in a pan with a little olive oil
over medium heat until the sausages a lightly browned on all sides. Remove from
pan and let cool for a few minutes.

Once the sausages are cooled, cut each link into 4 equal pieces each, then put into the sauce.

Remove the Veal Shank from the pot and let cool for a few minutes.

Once the veal has cooled
enough to handle, remove the meat from the veal shank and break into pieces
that are about 2” square. Put the veal meat back in the pot, and let everything
simmer on low heat for another 45 minutes.

To Serve : Cook 1 or 2
pounds of your favorite maccheroni following the directions on the package. We
like to use; Rigatoni, Mezze Monica, Cavatappi, Cavatelli, or any short maccheroni that you like.

When the pasta is ready (finished cooking), remove from heat, and drain in a colander, reserving ¼ cup
or so of the pasta water to mix with the pasta and sauce. Put the pasta back in the pot it cooked in. Add some of the sauce with the pork and sausages to the pot. Drizzle a little olive oil over all and mix.

Spoon pasta onto however many plates you need. Top pasta with some more sauce on top and pass some grated cheese for your guest to apply them-selves. Buon Appetito!

How to Make an APEROL SPRITZ

The APEROL SPRITZ

Italy’s Hottest Cocktail

aka

APERTIVO

The Aperol Spritz is Super Hot! No, not hot, as in temperature wise, but

hot as in popular. It’s the drink of the moment. A drink I’ve known of since my

first exploratory trip to Venice, to do research on Venetian Wine Bars (Bacaro) of

which I was planning on and did open in New York’s Greenwich Village.

It was at a Bacaro (Venetian Wine Bar) in Venice that I had my first Spritz.

Venice is where these refreshing Italian drinks were invented and it was

in Venice that I had my first some 20 years ago, a good 15 years before most

Americans ever heard of them. Same thing with me and the Negroni, which

I discovered and have been drinking since 1985, my first of many wonderful

trips to my ancestral Motherland, Italy.

Anyway, fast forward to 2105. I just came back from Capri & The Amalfi Coast

in Italy. I had a wonderful time; swimming in the waters surround Capri everyday

before going back to my hotel to take a shower and little nap before going out for the evening.

Going out at night? I’d go out to a wonderful meal each night, but before going

to my favorite restaurant I’d stop off at Bar Tiberius or Caffe da Alberto at the

Piazza Umberto for a little apertivo before dinner. Such fun sitting at a outdoor table

at Bar Tiberius as I did way back in 1988 and having a nice refreshing drink in the lively

Piazza Umberto before moving on to dinner. Back in 88 I had a daily ritual of getting up, having a lovely Italian breakfast of Cappuccino, Cornetto, fresh Blood Orange Juice, and Yoghurt before heading for one of Capri’s gorgeous beaches and a day of swimming and relaxing on the lovely Mediterranean Sea. What’s better than that?

PIAZZA UMBERTO

CAPRI

By NIGHT

I’d swim for a couple hours in the morning, then go to a nearby restaurant or caffe for a little lunch, then back to the beach to late afternoon, before hopping on the little local bus up to the Piazza Umberto, Capri’s most popular piazza of all.

I’d then meet up with some friends for a drink or two before heading back to my hotel

(La Toasca) for a little nap, and then back to Bar Tiberius for another operative before dinner, and after dinner it was on to the bar at the Palma Hotel for drinks and good times with friends.

Oh what a life?

That’s the story of; Me, Capri, and My Campari, Granita, or a nice refreshing

Aperol Spritz … Basta!

WORLD’S BEST BREAKFAST

World’s BestBreakfast? I Kid You Not!

This was my typical Breakfast (Colazione)

at Villa Maria each of My Three Wonderful Days There

Vincenzo the owner Makes all types of different Jams

from the fruit he grows on his farmer way up in the hill of

the beautiful little town on The Amalfi Coast .. Villa Maria is

a wonderful little farm/ agroturismo Inn in the town of Minori,

a cute little town if you want to be on the Amalfi Coast but away from

the madening crowds that overrun the gorgeous little town of Positano.

Vincenzo’s main crop of his farm are Lemons with Olive Tree Groves,

Grapevines, and all sorts of fruits and vegetables, along with Chickens (for

meat & Eggs) and Pigs to make his awesome Homemade Salami. Vincenzo

makes his own wine, Prosciutto, Pancetta, Coppa, and his tasty

homemade Fruit Jams which you spread on toast & Cornetto ‘s in the

morning for breakfast.

When dinner time comes, Maria (Vincenzo’s wife) makes an awesome

Four-Course Dinner with; Antipast to start, followed by some awesome pasta or another,

a main-course of fish, meat, or chicken, and ending with either Fruit or a Dessert that Maria makes (I love the Lemon Cake), and some of Vincenzo’s Homemade Lemoncello.

And of course during the meal you’ll get a bottle of either Vincenzo’s own Vino Bianco or

Vino Rosso or both.

Villa Maria is one of the most special places you could ever want to stay at in your life.

It’s a once in a lifetime experience that not many people get a chnace to do, and I reccommend going there most highly, “You will have the time of your life.”

PACCHERI al FRUTTA di MARE

Mixed Seafood Pasta

“The Best Frutta di Mare Ever” !!!

Maria made me this awesome plate of pasta soon after my

arrival. Vincenzo picked me up down in Minaori at

the wonderful Caffe Riso (Best Caffe & Pastry in Town)

and drove me u to his place (Villa Maria). When we got there

Vincenzo gave me a Lemonade made with his own Lemons.

Best Lemonade of my life needless-to-say!

After I had my Lemonade and chit-chattted with Vincenzo

Maria & Nadia, I went to my room to take a show and freshen up

after my trip from Napoli on the Circumvesuviano Train from

Naples to Sorrento, then a bus from Sorrento to Amalfi, and then

another bus from Amalfi to Minori, and finally a ride in Vincenzo’s

little Fiat Panda Station Wagon from Minori by The Sea, up to

Minori in the Mountains below Ravello at Villa Maria.

So after I showered and put on some fresh clothes and went back out

to the terrace (terrazzo) Vincenzo asked me if I wantedd a little pasta?

Hell Yeah!!! Then Vincenzo asked if I wanted some wine. Again, Heck Yeah!

I had his Vino Bianco, and when he brought me the plate of pasta(Paccheri with

Clams & Mussels) that Maria made me,

I was in 7th Heaven!

The NEGRONI COCKTAIL

THE
NEGRONI

The Negroni? A question? A question to
some? Most of America probably. Many so-called sophisticates have been

drinking this “The Negroni” quite a bit in the past 4 years or so. The truly
sophisticated, worldly folks have known about them far longer. Me? I’ve been
drinking this great Italian-Cocktail for some 28 years now. Yes, I’ve been
drinking Negroni’s ever since my first at a Bar in la Bella Roma back in the
Summer of 1985. Rome, “The Eternal City” is where I had my first, on that
marvelous first trip to Bella Italia. I was quite a young man, and that trip
was completely magical, discovering real Italian “Italian Food” for the very
first time, I had my first true Bolognese, Spaghetti Carbonara, Coda di
Vacinara, Bucatini Amatriciana, Gelato, and a true Italian Espresso, “Oh
Bliss!” Yes it was. I saw The Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo’s Moses at San
Pietro en Vincole (Saint Peter in Chains), I saw the Coliseum, The Roman Forum,
The Duomo in Florence, Venice and The Grand Canal, Positano, Capri, Napoli, and
so much more. Yes the trip was magical. It was magical hanging out at a Bar in
the Piazza Popolo drinking my first Campari, and that first of a thousand
Negroni’s, or more. Many American’s are just discov-ering its charms,

“me and the Negroni,” we go way back; in
Rome, Venice, Capri, Positano, Capri, Verona, Bologna, I’ve had Negroni’s all
over. And many in New York in restaurants and bars all over Manhattan, and
Staten Island where I drink some of the best Negroni’s I’ve ever had, certainly
in New York, at my buddy Pat Parotta’s house in Staten Island. Pat pours an
awesome Negroni, better than any bartender in the city. He makes them with love
and when I go to one of his wonderful little dinner parties, that’s the first
thing I have. It’s tradition for us now. Leaving my house in Greenwich Village,
I hop on the 1 Train and take it down to the Battery to the Staten Island Ferry
Terminal. I hop on the ferry, ride across New York Harbor, passing the gorgeous
Lady Liberty (The Statue of Liberty) along the way. I get off the ferry. Pat picks me up at the
terminal on the Staten Island side. We go to house, and I’m not through the
door two minutes and he’s mixing up a nice one. A Negroni that is! Well 2 that
is, one for me, and a Negroni for himself. We drink great Italian Wine at those
dinner parties, and some of Pat’s tasty food. But we always start it off with
our ritualistic Negroni’s alla Patty
“P” and you should too.

THE NEGRONI

Basic Recipe:

1 ounce Campari

1 ounce Sweet Vermouth

1 ounce Gin

Ice

Orange

1. Fill a Rocks-Glass or Highball Glass with Ice.

2) Add Campari, Sweet Vermouth, and Gin.

3) Stir ingredients. Garnish with a piece of Orange Peel or slice of Orange.

Note: Orsen Wells after discovering the Negroni
while writing a screenplay in Rome, wrote in a correspon-dence back home that
he had discovered a delightful Italian Cocktail, “The Negroni.” Welles stated,

“It is made of Bitter Campari which is good for the liver, and of Gin which is bad.

The two balance each other out.”

THE BELLINO NEGRONI

For me, this is the Perfect Negroni. The basic Negroni recipe calls for 3 equal
parts(1 oz.) each of Camapari, Sweet Vermouth, and Gin in a glass filled with
ice, and garnished with an Orange Peel.

For the most perfectly balanced Negroni, I put in slightly less Campari (3/4 oz.),

¾ ounce of Gin, a little more

Sweet Vermouth with 1 ¼ ounces, over Ice,
add a tiny spalsh of Club Soda
and Garnish with a good size piece of Orange. Voila! The Perfect Negroni. Enjoy!

Caffe Dante Finally Closed March 2015

“IT’S OFFICIAL”

CAFFE DANTE HAS CLOSED

Caffe Dante shut its doors yesterday, Sunday March 22. 2015 … A very sad moment as I watched my friend of 30 years Mario Flotta pull down his pictures of the many Celebrities that have spent time at Caffe Dante over the years. I had to hold back my tears when I said goodbye to Mario and he and his two sons Mario Jr. and Anthony locked the doors for the last time.

I said goodbye to Mario and his sons and walked around the corner to go home, knowing my second home had closed for good. One of those sad moments in life, but one one must deal with never-the -less.

ME & MARIO

Greenwich Village Writer Daniel Bellino Zwicke

Mario Flotta Sr. at Caffe Dante on The Day of its closing, 100 Years

Beloved Caffe Dante to Close

MY BELOVED CAFFE DANTE to CLOSE

Yes I’m afraid it’s most likely true, my beloved Caffe Dante to close this month (February 2015) after 100 years in business in New York’s Greenwich Village. It’s rumored that Mario Flotta the long time owner of Caffe Dante will be selling the caffe to a Australian Corporation and it was reported on 1010 WINS Radio News this morning that Dante will be shuttering its doors in 10 days time. This is very sad, especially for me and longtime regulars who have been going to Caffe Dante for 10, 20, 30, and even 40 years for New York’s most authentic Espresso and cups of Cappuccino. I myself have been going there since the Summer of 1985 when I came back from my first trip wonderful trip of many to my ancestral homeland of Italy .. As i’ve been going to Caffe Dante almost evry single day siance 85, I’ve become good friends with the Flotta Family over the years especially Mario Sr. who is almost like a second father to me.

This is such sad news, and all I can say is something I know that most do not, is that Mario bought a building around the corner on Bleecker Street for just such a situation. That being that the landlord would one day raise his rent beyond reason (the Landlord did in 2013), and Mario would just pack up his caffe and move it around the corner. Mario is Caffe Dante, his loves the place like one of his own children, and I know this is the reason he bought the building on Bleedker. Mario told me himself what he would do, and he always wanted the Caffe to continue and for there to be a place for Caffe Dante for his sons, Mario Jr., Anthony, and Peter.

I hope everything all works out, I love Caffe Dante more than I can ever express, it’s without question my second home, and a Greenwich Village without this wonderful Caffe would be that much less of the Greenwich Village that we residients, visitors and tourist from around the country and around the World know.
