Misto Griglia del Longobardo
Region: Italy, Lombardy
Category: Sausage, Grilled Sausage, Mixed

Difficulty: Labor Intensive
This mixed grill from Milan is popular because everyone loves the variety of flavors, ranging from polenta and red bell peppers to sausages and tenderloin. Milan, sitting in the middle of the province of Lombardy, has been important since the Middle Ages. Its people populated many other regions of Italy, some settling in Sicily in the thirteenth century. The Longobardo, as Lombards are known in Italian, and especially the Milanese have hundreds of their favorite osterie, small family-run and local street-corner eating places where this dish must have been invented.
