In how many houses boils in a pot beef broth for Christmas, for the traditional capon or for the ravioli in broth of the evening of 25. When there is nothing else but a warm comfort food. But in how many houses arrived at the moment of the second one is all too satiated to appreciate it or even to eat it. This meat, definitely chosen and equally good, is perfect to be used in a variation of the traditional reinforcement salad typical of Neapolitan Christmas and ideal to eat cold in the days following Christmas for a light and fast lunch or dinner. The reinforcement salad is born exactly with this idea: It is prepared on the evening of Christmas Eve and then reinforced up to New Year's Day integrating it with the leftovers of every day. Ample space for imagination and personal taste, but traditionally the base provides cimette of cauliflower blanched, capers, pitted green and black olives, pickled gherkins cut into very thin strips; all seasoned with oil, a pinch of salt and plenty of vinegar. At this base add the meat pulp you have previously boiled, and serve at room temperature. It can be kept safely in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a few days.

Natural or on toasted brown bread accompanied by salted butter. The same goes for it, in a traditional and always pleasing gourmet basket or a gourmet friend who appreciates more and more food than any other brilliant idea.

After filling, cut each circle in half along the diameter until almost the end, intertwined the two flaps to form a semicircle and add the two semi-circles so obtained together to form a crown, bake at 180 degrees until the surface is golden.
