Zuppe (soups) -Pappa col pomodoro
The "pappa col pomodoro" is an ancient Tuscan recipe, a very poor dish invented to use the old and stale bread. As in most Italian recipes, the secret is in the quality and freshness of the ingredients (well, not of the bread...), since the preparation is really very simple. ingredients: 250 g rustic bread (few days old) 400 g fresh tomatoes basil garlic extra virgin olive oil salt & pepper 800 g hot water or light stock Preparation: First thing is cook garlic in extra virgin olive oil then add chopped up tomatoes (big chunks). Stir and add basil (whole leaves), then add salt & pepper. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, then add the stock (or hot water), bring it to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. At this point add chopped up bread (big chunks) and let it boil for 5-10 minutes. Add salt or pepper if needed, then add some more basil and turn the fire off. Let it rest for 1 hour with the lid on, serve with some basil on top and extra virgin olive oil. This is the traditional Tuscan recipe, in other regions of Italy the “pappa col pomodoro” is prepared with onions or leeks, too. During the hot months, this soup can also be served cold. |
