Mash them with a fork more or less coarsely, according to your taste. Clean the chicory removing the more coriaceous parts and boil it in salted water for 2 minutes from the boil. Drain it and squeeze it gently. Season with oil, salt and a few slices of fresh chilli pepper. Cut the slices of bread into small pieces. Roast them in a hot pan without adding seasonings.
