Pugliese Recipes

Pugliese cuisine from Puglia in Italy's southeastern heel is a celebration of Mediterranean simplicity, built on olive oil, durum wheat, vegetables, and seafood. The region produces more olive oil than any other in Italy and is famous for orecchiette, burrata, and taralli. Signature dishes include orecchiette con cime di rapa, tiella barese, and bombette pugliesi. The cucina povera tradition here transforms humble ingredients into deeply satisfying fare.
