The pulses of Zollino

Zollino is a village of two thousand people in the Grecìa Salentina, and almost every pulse on this page comes from there. The dwarf pea is small and full of flavour, cooks in half an hour and needs no long soaking. The Zollino bean has a thin skin and holds its shape in soup. Split fava beans are the ones behind fava purée with chicory, the signature dish of Salento cooking. The black chickpea is the other great name of the area: small, wrinkled, with a stronger taste than the common chickpea. It wants a long soak — a whole night — and patient cooking. The grass pea is the pulse that almost disappeared and has come back in recent years: it tastes of chickpea and broad bean at once, and suits winter soups best.

How to cook them

The rule is simple: soak in cold water overnight, cook slowly in unsalted water, salt only at the end. An hour to an hour and a half for the larger pulses; less for peas and lentils, which can be cooked without soaking. With black chickpeas and grass peas, keep the cooking water: it is full of flavour and becomes the base of the soup.

The fresh vegetables

Mugnoli, lampascioni, wild fennel and the farmer's box — mixed seasonal vegetables — leave the fields of Salento and travel as they are, unprocessed. That is why they are only here in their own season: lampascioni in winter, mugnoli between autumn and spring, the box all year round but never the same. They are also the products that sell out most often, which is why we keep the back-in-stock alert: when they return, whoever left an address hears first.
