Arbëreshë cuisine

The Arbëreshë cuisine (Albanian: Kuzhina Arbëreshë; Italian: Cucina Arbëreshë) is the cuisine of the Arbëreshë people in Italy. It has been significantly influenced by Albanian and Italian cuisine, but has had little influence on Italian cuisine.

  • Common poppy leaves with beans (lulëkuqë me fasulë)
  • Mashed faba bean and wild chicory (bathë e çiqur)
  • A pie of egg, ricotta, lamb, and the boiled leaf stalks of Spanish salsify, eaten during Easter.
  • Dried fish, particularly anchovies, with the boiled and fried shoots of either a rapini variety or wild mustard, eaten on Christmas Eve.
