Main ( or second) courses recipes

The main or second courses of Maratea recipes are basically based on the traditional elements of Maratea's cuisine, such as vegetables, pork and sea fish.

This page does not include all the existing and special recipes, such as "gnommareddi", lamb-shaped rolls and much like the tripe, but only some of the easiest to make.

In the menus of the restaurants of Maratea you will not always find them, except for typical local ones, but you can have fun trying to process them at home.

As for the first courses also for the second we recommend a combination of red local wines, cooled but not cold for meats and even for vegetable dishes and then the local white whites always served cold for basic dishes of fish.
