Peperonata di Basilicata al Forno con Acciughe
Basilicata — Regione intera
Basilicata's roasted pepper preparation — sweet Senise peppers, red onions, garlic, and anchovies slow-roasted in olive oil until the peppers become silky, jammy, and concentrated, with the anchovies dissolving into the oil and providing a savoury depth that seems sourceless. The preparation is a study in slow transformation: raw peppers become soft and sweet over 40 minutes of oven heat, while the anchovies provide a savouriness that makes the dish taste richer than its components suggest.
