Cutturidd Lucano, a slow-cooked Basilicata lamb stew with potatoes, tomato, onion and mountain herbs. Cutturidd, also written cutturidd or cutturiedd depending on local dialect, belongs to the pastoral cooking of Basilicata. Its identity comes from lamb cooked slowly with simple vegetables and herbs in a covered pot, historically over a gentle fire. The dish is associated with shepherding culture and the practical need to transform bone-in lamb into a tender, nourishing meal
