I received this recipe in a newsletter - it is very easy and inexpensive, and quite comforting. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons olive oil |
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed |
4 eggs, well beaten |
1/2 lb stale crusty italian bread, crumbled |
ground hot pepper |
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped |
1 pint water or 1 pint chicken stock |
Directions:
1. Set the water to heat, crumble the bread into 4 bowls, beat the eggs, and chop the basil. 2. Heat the oil in a pot big enough to contain the water as well, and saute the garlic and hot pepper to taste for a minute or two. Add the water, bring the mixture to a boil, and cook for a couple of minutes. Vigorously stir in the eggs and the basil and cook a minute more stirring all the while. Ladle the mixture over the bread and serve at once. |
