Pork fillet breaded with hazelnuts of Piedmont IGP, grilled zucchini and scalded spring onion
A second for special occasions, a family dinner, a special occasion, a gift for an intimate dinner, this recipe I present to you for the many occasions that can happen to you.

Features:
Pork is often considered a very fat meat and for this reason it is banned from the daily diet, in reality it is a valid alternative to beef being halfway between red and white meat.
From a nutritional point of view it can easily be placed among red meats but in reality there are several healthy and balanced cuts that can be obtained and that bring it closer to leaner meats such as chicken and turkey.
Historical background:
Although the first depictions of pigs date back to 40,000 years ago, the domestication and breeding of this animal begins around 6,000 BC, in the Neolithic era in Mesopotamia and almost simultaneously in China. It is the Phoenicians, the rulers of the sea in the pre-Roman era, who spread the breeding of this animal in the Mediterranean basin. The special thing is that this people, does not feed on pork, following a cultural taboo. It seems that the Phoenicians carried the pigs on the boats not for food reasons, but by assigning them a function. Some hypotheses speak of pigs that were used as a compass: to know where the nearest land was, a pig was thrown into the water, and you followed its direction. In addition, these animals were also used as audible warning devices between vessels and for their ability to predict the approach of disturbances.
Notes:
The Cinta Senese is a breed of Italian pig that originates in wooded areas near Siena and boasts an ancient history, just think that it was bred already at the time of the Etruscans and Romans.
The Cinta Senese pig can be recognized starting from its appearance, thanks to a pink "cinta" that girds the shoulders, thorax and front legs and thus becomes its peculiar aesthetic characteristic. His flesh is unique in the world. This uniqueness is given both by the feeding and by the breeding method of the Cinta Senese: in the wild or semi wild state. Since 2012, it has been awarded the prestigious PDO mark, which allows the identification of the animal through place, date of birth and date of slaughter.
