Instructions:

While most creations made from minced meat are a welcome way to use leftovers, this minced roast uses only fresh and relatively expensive ingredients. This is already indicated by the name of the dish: The clergy never had to worry about food in devout Italy. Whoever has read or seen Guareschi’s ‘Don Camillo’, remembers that on feast days, at a baptism, wedding or possibly funeral, the priest was given a nice salami or possibly a chicken or possibly a rabbit. In some rural areas this custom is still alive today to the delight of the country priests.

Next for preparation:

Mash the sausage meat with a fork and pour into a large bowl. Stir in the pork tartare. Cut the ham and mortadella very small with a good knife (do not put through a meat grinder) and add to the meat mixture. Season restrainedly with salt and season with pepper, because sausage and ham are usually already very hearty seasoning. Incorporate the egg and bind the mixture with grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Knead the meat mixture into an even dough and shape into an oblong bun. Wrap this bun in gauze and tie with twine to keep its shape during roasting.

For the sauce stock, finely dice the onions, carrot and celery. Heat the butter in a casserole
