Fried Tomatoes – Pomodori Scattarisciati: get your suitcase ready: with this recipe you are going to move to the South of Italy, in Salento! This is an ‘old school’ nonna classic: pomodori ‘scattarisciati’ (fried tomatoes).
This region of Italy is famous for their sweet, red tomatoes and capers that grow wildly everywhere. That’s where our nonnas got the idea: mix some of the simplest ingredients coming from the area, to create an incredibly tasty dish: fried tomatoes!
Do you know what ‘scattarisciati’ means? Surely not! Watch the video-recipe to shed some light on the mistery.
Buon appetito!
Enjoy the video recipe!
