The story
About the dish
The central flavors in Moscardini in Purgatorio come from baby octopus, garlic, onions, and basil. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. In the dish, baby octopus supplies sweet brininess and maritime savor, while garlic adds aromatic warmth and a measured spark and onions add gentle natural sweetness.
The maritime character of the dish reflects a peninsula and islands where fishing communities have developed sharply local ways to cook and preserve the catch.
