Pappa al pomodoro
Ingredients for 4 people:
800 g of stale Tuscan bread
1 white onion
1 leek
1 clove of garlic
some basil leaves
4 tomatoes (the "Fiorentino" type is better)
Olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Broth
Procedure: Crush the garlic, leek and the onion with a large spoon and stew them in a saucepan with olive oil. Add the tomatoes, the basil, salt and pepper and cook for 12-13 minutes. Cut the bread into squares and add it to the sauce. Continue to cook and add broth if the mixture becomes too pasty. Blend with a whisk until it becomes creamy. Serve the dish warm with fresh pepper and olive oil.
