The local cuisine is mostly based on [[pork]] and [[sheep meat]], [[legumes]], [[cereals]], [[vegetables]] and [[tubers]]. It is commonly referred to as {{langnf|it|[[peasant food|cucina povera]]|cuisine of the poor}}, deeply anchored in peasant traditions. Bread crumb is considered a poor-man's cheese substitute, sprinkled over pasta dishes and used as a seasoning for meat and vegetables. [[Horseradish]] is often used as a spice and condiment, which is referred to as "poor man's truffle".<ref name ="greatitalianchefs">{{Cite web|url=https://www.greatitalianchefs.com/features/basilicata-food-guide|title=The complete foodie guide to Basilicata|website=greatitalianchefs.com|date=8 August 2019|access-date=16 November 2020}}</ref> The [[peperone crusco]] ([[Prodotti agroalimentari tradizionali|PAT]]) is a specialty of the regional cuisine, sometimes labeled as "the red gold of Basilicata".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lacucinaitaliana.com/trip-to-italy/southern-italy/crusco-peppers-the-red-necklaces-of-basilicata-towns?refresh_ce=|title=Crusco Peppers: the Red Necklaces of Basilicata Towns |website=lacucinaitaliana.com|date=16 September 2019|access-date=30 August 2020}}</ref> It is the dried form of the [[peperone di Senise]] ([[Protected Geographical Status|PGI]]), one of the most popular Italian pepper varieties.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tasteatlas.com/most-popular-peppers-in-italy|title=Top 3 most popular Italian peppers|website=tasteatlas.com|date=19 November 2020|access-date=19 November 2020}}</ref> Traditional recipes include pasta dishes like ''[[pasta con i peperoni cruschi]]'' and ''[[tumact me tulez]]'', and main courses such as ''[[rafanata]]'', ''[[acquasale]]''.
