Pancotto is a traditional dish from Southern Italy<\/strong> ; in Puglia, especially in the Bari area, it’s made with arugula and potatoes. Instead of vegetable broth, I’ll use pure arugula extract, with its bitter, bold notes.
\n Here’s how to prepare it: <\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/b> :<\/em><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 500 g of mountain potatoes<\/li>\n
  • 4 shallots<\/li>\n
  • 250 ml of vegetable broth<\/li>\n
  • 50 ml of extra virgin olive oil<\/li>\n
  • 500 g of rocket<\/li>\n
  • 4 slices of stale Altamura bread<\/li>\n
  • 2 cloves of garlic<\/li>\n
  • Extra virgin olive oil to taste<\/li>\n
  • Salt to taste<\/li>\n
  • Chili pepper to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Procedure:<\/em><\/h3>\n

    For the potato cream:<\/h4>\n

    Clean the shallots and potatoes and slice them thinly. In a saucepan, slowly saut\u00e9 the shallots with the extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. Add the potatoes and saut\u00e9 for a few minutes. Add the vegetable broth and cook for 40 minutes<\/strong> , stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, blend until smooth, and keep warm. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary. <\/p>\n

    For the rocket:<\/h4>\n

    Remove 250 g of arugula<\/strong> and set aside the extract. Saut\u00e9 the remaining 250 g of arugula with garlic, oil, and chili pepper in a pan for a few seconds. <\/p>\n

    For the bread:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Cut the stale bread slices into rounds, removing the crusts. Soak the bread in the arugula extract<\/strong> , letting it absorb completely. <\/p>\n

    Assembling the dish:<\/h3>\n

    In a shallow dish, spread a layer of hot potato cream. Arrange the saut\u00e9ed arugula<\/strong> and the bread disc soaked in the extract in the center. Finish with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> . <\/p>\n

    \n

    An extra tip:<\/strong> For a more indulgent variation, add a sprinkling of grated aged caciocavallo cheese or a sprinkling of crunchy crumbled tarallo.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy your meal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
