Our “Ingrassaporci” (Hipochoerys Radicata) vegan and gluten free recipe, is a wild herb of the chicory family, so called because wild boars are greedy for its roots..but the names in dialect along the peninsula are countless (piattone, donkey ribs..)

Here in our field at the Circeo it is one of the most present herbs, for almost the whole year (apart from a small summer break). It was collected and used in local kitchens until after World War II.

This herb with its delicate bittersweet flavour (also thanks to our spicy recipe) is perfect for any kind of sandwich, or to combine with legumes (as in a famous Puglia recipe) with ham or meat, to crear great and peculiar appetizers or second dishes..
