“Tomato Salad” Bread
I like to vary and experiment with my breads and savory biscotti using, instead of water, pulps of greens and/or vegetables like squash.
In the summer I make this flavorful flat bread using leftover tomato-onion-and-caper salad. We liked it so much that we wanted also make it in the winter, when vine-ripened tomatoes are not available, so I use a combination of sun-dried tomatoes with some of the usually flavorful cherry ones (See Note).
Yields 2 laganes (focaccia-like flat breads)
Tigania & Tomato-less Tigania
The first recipe is a more recent version with tomato, and is based on the tigania my neighbor, Zenobia Stefa, prepares every so often. The second is the older and most common tigania served in island taverns. Since in my house we hardly ever have occasions for a late night snack, I like to serve my tigania with tagliatelle or ziti, or with mashed potatoes, as a main course.
