It is a dish with an ancient tradition but you can still find it on the tables of Salento’s families or in the menu of “sagre” throughout Salento. This dish is able to conjugate the flavor of vegetables to the genuineness of legumes thanks to the pieces of fried bread, that give the name to the dish. Here is the recipe!

MUERSI
Ingredients for 4 people:
500g turnips / chicory tops
250g dried peas
Wheat bread
Oil
salt
1 small onion
1 clove of garlic
Soak the peas with 2 tablespoons of salt the evening before then rinse and boil them in plenty of water, onion, garlic for an hour and a half.
In another pot, boil the vegetables. Meanwhile, cut the bread into pieces and place them in a non-stick pan with the bottom covered with oil. Toast it until it becomes golden and crisp. Pour over hot bread the well-heated peas and the boiled and drained vegetables. Mix everything and serve with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. So yummy!
