Bread soup

Doses: 4 people

Ingredients:

• 400g of stale homemade bread
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 Crusco chili pepper
• 2.5kg mixed vegetables (chard, turnip tops, chicory and wild herbs)
• EVO Oil Frantoio Le Fascine

Preparation:

1. Remove any tough or damaged leaves from the vegetables, which should then be washed and cleaned.
2. In a very large pot, boil water with two handfuls of coarse salt and, when it boils, immerse all the vegetables. These should be cooked for 4 minutes.
3. Add the stale bread previously cut into pieces that are not too small, and let everything boil for another minute.
4. After a total of 5 minutes, drain the vegetables and bread and leave them to cool in the colander.
5. In a non-stick pan, pour two teaspoons of Frantoio Le Fascine EVO oil , fry the garlic clove together with the chopped Crusco chili pepper, then add the vegetables and bread.
6. Sauté everything in a pan for a few minutes and then serve the pancotto hot, with the addition of a drizzle of raw extra virgin olive oil.

As with all traditional Italian recipes, there are numerous variations of the original preparation. In fact, pancotto can be enriched with a pleasure, perhaps with the addition of cherry tomatoes, cut in half and sautéed in a pan with the other ingredients, or potatoes, which should be peeled, cut into large pieces and blanched together with the other vegetables. Furthermore, pancotto can also be enjoyed in a salad, thus avoiding the pan and serving the blanched vegetables and bread with the addition of a pinch of salt and a drizzle of Frantoio Le Fascine EVO Oil .
