Pearà (Veronese dialect term; lit. 'peppered') is a traditional Veronese sauce made with breadcrumbs, beef and hen stock, beef marrow, and black pepper. It is served exclusively together with bollito misto, making lesso e pearà (lesso is Venetian for bollito), a typical dish unique to Verona and its surroundings. It should not be confused with pevarada, a sauce made with chicken livers, with which it only shares the use of pepper.
