THE QUARRYMAN'S FOCACCIA
Once, this nourishing "schiacciata" (like focaccia) rich
in vitamins, was part of the meagre food supplies of the marble quarry
workers of the Apuan region.
The following recipe is a variation of the original.
Buy a piece of dough at the baker’s and knead it. Incorporate
the walnuts chopped and "ciccioli" (strips of pigskin and
various pork cracklings). Place the 1-cm.-thick dough on a greased
baking sheet. Season well with salt on the surface and dimple. Drizzle
with oil and bake in a pre-heated oven until golden. The dough can
also be strewn with rosemary leaves before baking.
