The story

About the dish

In Tiella alla Barese, briny sweetness from mussels meets comforting starchiness from rice and potatoes, followed by juicy tomato and mellow onion throughout the layers.

Regional material describes the ingredients being layered raw in a single pan—the tiella—so the vessel, assembly and one-pan cooking are central to the dish’s identity.
