At a rustic outdoor ristorante called La Stalla (the name means “stable”), everything on the menu was cooked in the classic Umbrian style, alla griglia, grilled on an open fire. We sat under a grape arbor at tables covered with red-and-white-checked cloths. When the spiedo misto came to the table smelling of fresh herbs and wine, it was the perfect ending to a long day.

INGREDIENTS

Directions

Cut the meats and chicken into 1-inch cubes. Season the pork with coarse salt and pepper and rub with the garlic; season the beef or veal with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the sage; season the chicken with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the rosemary. Set aside.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the peppers until just crisp-tender. Add the wine and cook until the liquid is reduced by about half.
Thread the skewers in this order: Pork, bell pepper, chicken, pancetta, sage leaf, veal, bell pepper, and sausage. Do not crowd the pieces. Place the skewers in a nonmetal dish large enough to hold them in a single layer and drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over them. Let them marinate for several hours in the refrigerator, basting and turning them often.
Heat the grill and lightly oil the grill rack. Remove the skewers from the marinade, place them on the grill, and baste with the marinade. Grill, turning and basting the skewers, until done to taste, about 8 to 12 minutes.
