Before traveling to Italy to record new recipes, I want to go back and give tribute to four dishes that meant more than views, they’re the ones that made all of this possible.

Forgotten Italian Classics: Pampanella (Molise)

In Molise, pampanella was once baked under grape leaves and embers: pork, fire, and spice sealed in smoke. Today the oven replaces the pit, but the spirit stays the same: garlic, paprika, chili, and vinegar melting into deep red heat.
For the full recipe, story, method, tips & tricks, and wine pairing, join the table on Substack (link in bio).

  1. Puoi fare le melanzane alla cioccolata? È una ricetta quasi dimenticata che si faceva specialmente nella zona orientale di Napoli.

  2. Wait, it's cooked for 48 hours or 4 to 8 hours? And what do you mean by "underground"? xD

  3. I'm British, and I bought myself a house in Molise. It's absolutely wonderful, and the people are about the most fantastic you could hope to have around.
