Bollito misto, literally "mixed boil", a Classic Italian Dish from the North

Bollito misto, literally "mixed boil" or "mixed boiled meat") is a classic northern Italian dish, made of of various cuts of beef and veal, sausages of different kinds but suitable for simmering, like "cotechino" or similar, whole hen, cuts of turkey, that are simmered for 2–3 hours in a vegetable broth. 

Bollito is common northern Italy, and is very popular in Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont, and Lombardy. 

The meat is sliced thinly and served with sea salt, mostarda, green sauce of anchovies, horseradish, or an Italian version of chutney. The resulting broth is then  used for soups and risottos.
