La Pizz e fuje

Pizz e fuje (or foje according to the season) is a kind of cornmeal polenta cooked in the oven or in a pan which is the base of the dish. On top there are the "fuje", that is the leaves of boiled green vegetables such as chicory, turnip tops, chard, borage. Finally, crumbled dried peppers (and here the variety of Altino bell pepper, traditionally dried and used as a condiment, can be useful) and, if desired, salted anchovies or sardines. This dish is typically prepared in winter but, given its lightness, it can easily be enjoyed all year round.
