Lagane e Ceci

This is one of those very simple, yet tasty, dishes that was born out of the poverty that the people of Basilicata have endured throughout history. In this remote area, ingredients have always been extremely limited - what could not be cultivated or bred in the severe climate simply did not exist. Even today, unusual ingredients are hard to come by and local cooks continue to prepare the traditional dishes that have been handed down by previous generations.
