Jessie on a Journey

A steaming bowl of traditional Tuscan pappa al pomodoro, a rustic stew made with chunks of day-old bread soaked in a rich, flavorful broth of stewed tomatoes, fragrant basil, a kick of chili pepper, and olive oil. The hearty stew has a vibrant red hue and contains pieces of bread that have softened and absorbed the tomato broth, creating a thick, comforting texture. Garnished with a few whole, sun-dried tomato halves, the dish has a rustic and homely appearance, evoking the essence of Tuscan peasant cuisine.
