LET'S DISCOVER THE ITALIAN TRADITION......

One of my favorite meal is something soooooo poor and easy, but bring me to my childwood, in the kitchen with my lovely grandma...... <3 <3 <3

That's PANCOTTO

Ingredients: soup (veggie or meat), stale bread, garlic, rosemary, olive oil (the best you can find) (chilli pepper if you like)

put thin slice of garlic + rosemary (+ chilli pepper) for few minuts in a pan with the oil, Cut the bread, and add it in the pan, and cover with the soup. all bread must absorbe the soup, became soft, and then be dried in the pan. blend slowly with a wooden spoon.
just put pancotto in the dish, add few more oil + fresh rosemary to decorate, + if you like some black pepper.
