Have you ever cooked with fresh bay? It is so intense and earthy and unlike dried bay from a herb box. Sun soaked leaves just heave with intense flavour, and the scent from cooking make our Puglia Kitchen a very happy place to be…

Ahah! This is a focus for 2025. We only write and recommend from experience, so with only 4-7 of us at any time, there aren’t enough of us to do everything we want.
Stay authentic. Too many foreign “cooks” jumping on #PugliaKitchen bandwagon. Choose Puglia chefs

Ricotta forte. Think of it as a seasoning (but it’s equally good as a spread).

Orecchiette pasta al forno with leftover sprouts and stuffing. The Puglia Kitchen Christmas crossover recipe. Orecchiette are Puglia’s iconic pasta shape. Named after their shape (orecchiette = “little ears”), orecchiette are used in the most traditional Puglia recipe that you will find on almost all restaurant menus across Puglia: orecchiette con cime di rapa. Cime di rapa is translated as turnip tops, the literal translation. Cime = tops (cima, singular), rapa = turnip (rape, plural). In reality it is broccoli rabe (brassica rapa) rather than the green offshoot of a root vegetable. A bitter green, softer than broccoli, but distinctive. Cooked down into almost a pesto with olive oil, anchovies (melted into the olive oil as seasoning; don’t tell, no-one will ever know), garlic, chillies, cherry tomatoes, and the all important reserved pasta cooking water, it’s a surprisingly tasty dish. Sometimes, according to mood, seasonality and whatever is at hand, we will add nugget size bites of Italian sausage, for orecchiette con salsiccia e cime di rapa. That’s why this our orecchiette al forno con sprouts and stuffing is the perfect leftovers dish and a classic Puglia Kitchen Christmas crossover. The sprouts and stuffing bites are natural substitutions for cime di rapa and sausage. The stuffing adds juicy fattiness (and the grounded earthiness of sage, ours is a sage and onion stuffing) while the sprouts have a similar composition to the cime di rapa. Photo and recipe by the Puglia Guys. PugliaGuys.com
We used leftover Brussels sprouts and sausage meat stuffing to make a #PugliaKitchen Christmas crossover dish.
