Experience the rustic charm of Sicily with Pane Cunzato, a delightful "seasoned bread" dish. This simple yet incredibly flavorful meal features crusty bread generously topped with ripe, juicy tomatoes, briny anchovies, and fragrant herbs. It's an ideal choice for a light lunch, a satisfying appetizer, or a taste of authentic Sicilian tradition.
Slice the Italian bread horizontally through the middle, creating two large halves. Lightly toast the bread halves in a toaster oven or under a broiler for 2-3 minutes at 350°F/175°C, until just golden and slightly crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and minced garlic.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh basil, chopped fresh oregano, chopped anchovy fillets, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Drizzle the toasted bread halves generously with the garlic-infused olive oil.
Evenly spread the tomato and anchovy mixture over both bread halves.
Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Cut the Pane Cunzato into individual serving pieces and serve immediately.
