The stuffed cuttlefish (in dialect I secc ‘mbutteit) is the delicious representation of two extraordinary combinations: on one hand, the unforgettable link between taste and tradition of this area; and, on the other, the fragrant marriage between land and sea that has always made the cuisine of Barletta unique in the regional scene. The particular taste of this dish is given by the freshness of the cuttlefish stuffed with bread crumbs, cheese and fresh tomatoes, flavoured with basil or parsley and baked with potatoes.
Stuffed cuttlefish is a very light and wholesome main course of fish. Indeed, it is often considered as a full meal. While savouring it, the vibrations of the countryside and the suggestions of the sea blend together to recreate all the riches of the ancient soul of Barletta.
