The classic frisella is seasoned with tomato, but if you want to change this version, we offer you some alternatives. Aperitiviamo?
Summer, woe to turn on the stove, least of all the oven: with the heat outside, you risk melting! So what good and quick cooking that does not require cooking? There frisella, for example!
Apulian specialty, to be exact Salento, has an ancient history behind it: it is said that it was the bread of travelers, as it could be kept for a long time. Then it was enough to soak it with a little sea water and olive oil to enjoy it in all its fragrance.
Today the classic version includes it seasoned with tomato, by way of bruschetta. But if you have a dinner with friends and you want to welcome them with a slightly different aperitif or appetizer, why not try dressing the frisella with other ideas? For example with swordfish and mussel tartare or with rocket and mortadella.
