Rafanata is an egg-based dish from the Basilicata region of Italy. It is a type of baked frittata made with eggs, horseradish, potatoes, pecorino cheese, and extra virgin olive oil.[1] Rafanata is typical of the Carnival and winter periods.
It is featured in Jamie Oliver's book Jamie Cooks Italy.[2] With a ministerial decree of 25 February 2022, rafanata entered the list of traditional Lucanian agri-food products (PAT).[3]
The name comes from rafano, the main ingredient of the dish, which means 'horseradish' in Italian.
