Pappa al Pomodoro

Pappa al Pomodoro Recipe

Ingredients
2/3 lb hard bread
2 ½ to 2 ¼ C ripe tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
4 C broth
6 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh basil
Salt
Pepper

Chop/dice garlic.
Peel and chop/dice tomatoes.
Add garlic to oil and heat until garlic starts to cook.
Add tomatoes and basil.
Stir and let cook for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, heat the broth so it’s ready to add to tomatoes after 15 minutes.
Thinly slice bread.
After 15 minutes, add the broth and bring it back to a boil.
Add bread.
Stir continuously for about 10 more minutes. It will start to thicken.
Add more salt and pepper, if needed.
Enjoy!

Tip: It’s best to let is sit for an hour before serving. Reheat as needed. I think it’s even better if you let it sit in the refrigerator overnight!
