LA TIELLA, LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Riso, patate e cozze is one of the most typical and beloved dishes of Apulian cuisine, particularly from the Bari tradition. It is a simple preparation yet rich in Mediterranean flavours, combining fresh and wholesome ingredients for a fragrant and tasty result.

The dish is made with a layer of thinly sliced potatoes, to which rice and fresh mussels are added, all seasoned with olive oil, garlic, parsley, and cherry tomatoes. It is then baked in the oven, allowing the rice to absorb the flavours of the potatoes and mussels, while the potatoes cook and become crispy on the surface. The creaminess of the rice blends with the delicacy of the mussels, and the aroma of the sea enriches every bite.

Riso, patate e cozze is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or paired with a good local white wine. It is a perfect example of Apulian cuisine, highlighting the simple yet intense flavours of its ingredients.
