The Abruzzo is a region on the Adriatic coast of Italy where, for centuries, raising sheep was the primary occupation. Every year, Abruzzese shepherds drove their flocks to the southeast to spend the cold months grazing along a more temperate part of the coast. In the springtime, the migration would occur again, but in reverse. Over time, towns were built along the shepherds’ route to accommodate their needs. This is just the sort of dish those shepherds would have enjoyed.
