Tomato friselle: recipe and ingredients
Friselle, tomato , salt, oil, vinegar, seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs: here is everything you need to bring a typical dish of our South to the table.
The base is obviously the "frisella", a sort of large biscuit tarallo obtained from the double baking in the oven of loaves made from durum wheat or multigrain flour, which can be purchased both in supermarkets and in shops selling typical products. To accompany the frisella, soaked and left whole or chopped depending on tradition, diced tomato is a must and, based on taste, a mix of vegetables is added such as fresh cucumbers, Tropea onion, celery, garlic and the essential herbs scented, but also capers, olives, giardiniera or caponata.
Preparation of tomato friselle
If you have prepared your favorite ingredients, it's time to find out how to make tomato friselle .
The first, fundamental step is the "sponzatura" of the frisella: this bread product, in fact, is hardened to such an extent by the second cooking that consuming it naturally would be really difficult. To make it soft again, the frisella is soaked ("sponzata") in cold water - originally sea water was used - immersing it for a few seconds so that it softens without falling apart.
At this point you can season the base with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of EVO oil and then add the required seasoning, ranging from tomato and basil friselle to gourmet versions such as friselle with dried tomatoes , burrata and anchovies.

Here are some combinations of ingredients that can give life to always different and appetizing friselle:
