About the dish

Spollichini in bisaccia is a traditional dish originating from Salerno. The dish is made with a combination of beans, green beans, tomatoes, garlic, celery, hot peppers, olive oil, basil, and parsley. The garlic, tomatoes, basil, parsley, celery, and hot peppers are sautéed in olive oil until blended. The beans and green beans are boiled until tender and tossed with the sauce. The mixture is left to stand for about half an hour or until the flavors are blended. Spollichini in bisaccia are then typically served on toasted slices of homemade bread. The dish is usually prepared in a terracotta pan.
