PREPARATION
Chop the leek and fry it with a little chilli. Add the diced tomatoes, salt and pepper, cook for about half an hour. Add the broth and the bread previously cut into thin slices. Mix well so that the flavors blend. Now add the basil, mix and turn off the flame, a spoonful of oil, cover and leave to infuse. It can be served hot or warm.Pappa al pomodoro is perhaps one of the most traditional dishes of Tuscan cuisine, of peasant origin, as we can guess from its simple ingredients which are mainly tomato, Tuscan bread, therefore unsalted, stale, extra virgin olive oil and “smells” that is: basil, leeks, salt, pepper and chilli.
