Lampascioni in extra virgin Olive Oil

The lampascione is a bulb rich in mineral salts that grows about 15-20 cm underground. Similar to a small onion, but with a bitter flavour, it requires a production process of around 10 days to make it sweeter and more pleasant on the palate. Its cleaning must be carried out by careful and expert hands who remove the external layers of the bulb one by one with a small knife and then blanch them in water and vinegar. As per the Apulian tradition, they are hand-potted with a bay leaf and extra virgin olive oil.

The result? A "sweet" and crunchy product whose flavor will remind you of our beloved Puglia.

These lampascioni with extra virgin olive oil can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish, perhaps accompanied by other preserves typical of the Apulian culinary tradition. They can also enrich cold dishes and salads.
