The story

About the dish

Merluzzo alla Livornese is anchored by potatoes, capers, olives, and onions. It lets potatoes bring gentle natural sweetness; capers bring a clear, distinctive flavor of its own; olives bring a clear, distinctive flavor of its own.

It carries a Tuscan cue toward cooking that prizes excellent raw materials—olive oil, unsalted bread, beans, vegetables, meat and wine—used with striking clarity. The potatoes bring gentle natural sweetness to the regional story carried by the dish.
