Simply meaning bread with tomato, this is from the Puglia region, a so called peasant snack. But far from it! This one uses up stale rustic bread (Sourdough will do) as bread should never get thrown away.
The bread is sliced into chunks and soaked just slightly with water.
Using these small cherry type tomatoes from the vine, the innards are sqeezed evenly onto the bread surface and the skins are then torn and placed on top. Add just a touch of pressed garlic and sprinkle with dry origano, salt, then drizzle with the best olive oil that you have.
Buon Appetito!
Tomatoes are harvested throughout the summer months in Italy. Vine tomatoes are then laced onto string and hung, so as to have a supply of fragrant tomatoes during the colder months.
