Why cooks start here

Bavette al Pesce is cooked in Ligurian pans. The flavor comes from the ingredients in this recipe and the way that place finishes the bowl.

Bavette al Pesce is a Ligurian classic, a dish that captures the essence of the Italian Riviera's coastline. In Liguria, it's the simple, fresh ingredients that shine, often made in homes overlooking the azure sea. Traditionally, this dish is prepared in wide pans, reflecting the region's love for seafood and the bounty of the Mediterranean. It's a favorite for leisurely lunches when the sun is high, and the air carries a salty breeze. The taste of Bavette al Pesce is a delicate balance of flavors, where the sweetness of cherry tomatoes melds with the briny, tender white fish. A hint of garlic and a generous sprinkle of fresh parsley add layers of aroma, all brought together by the richness of olive oil. Each bite should transport you to the Ligurian coast, evoking the simplicity and freshness of the sea.
