What is 'mentuccia' in Roman cooking?
Mentuccia is Roman cucina romanesca's favorite green. Botanically it’s Calamintha nepeta, smaller and grassier than the menta you put in mojitos. Romans throw it whole-leaf into carciofi alla romana (braised artichokes), trippa alla romana (tripe stew), and any number of trattoria seafood pastas. Italian cookbooks outside Lazio rarely call for it; in Rome it’s a staple.
In this clip, Roman chef Max Mariola cooks spaghetti with sea-bream and shrimp tartare and stages mentuccia twice: once early to perfume the oil, then torn at the end. Coaching his guest: « mentuccia, le foglie le butti, mi raccomando » (mentuccia, toss in the leaves, I’m telling you). Three garnishes finish: chili rings, mentuccia flowers, parsley.
