Sides

Imagine the aroma that spreads from the kitchen, that unmistakable scent of roasted potatoes: golden, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with that rustic and genuine flavour that only the best potatoes can provide. When we talk about "local", we are referring to those potatoes grown locally, which come straight from the earth to the table, bringing with them all the authentic flavour of the region.

Imagine a dish that is a true tribute to simplicity and the genuine flavours of the land, a riot of colours and aromas that change with the seasons. This is Lu Ciabbott, an Abruzzese specialty that embodies rustic cuisine: a mix of seasonal vegetables expertly cooked in a pan.
Lu Ciabbott is the ultimate expression of freshness and versatility. There is no fixed recipe, but an interpretation that varies from month to month, following the rhythm of nature. You will find a hug of freshly picked vegetables: from summer aubergines and courgettes that soften, releasing their sweetness, to ripe tomatoes that create a thick and enveloping sauce. Onions and peppers add aromatic notes and a slight savouriness, while other vegetables like potatoes or green beans can enrich the mix depending on what is available at the time.
The vegetables are chopped into pieces and slowly cooked in a pan, with good extra virgin olive oil, which enhances their flavours without overpowering them.
