Personal Notes:
This recipe was never written down -- I learned it from watching Sophie, who learned it from watching her mother-in-law, Josephine Fuelo. Josephine came from a large Italian family. There were many mouths to feed, and meat was expensive. Pork skin brasciole is the iconic peasant dish --
traditional, cheap and delicious. While it is high in fat and not at all healthy by today's standards, it was a favorite addition to our Sunday dinners. If eating pork brasciole is not your cup of tea, the brasciole also adds amazing flavor to the sauce.
