grillattu

Grillattu is a traditional Italian dish originating from the Puglia region, particularly in the towns of Grillato and Fasano. The dish consists of a large, flatbread topped with a variety of ingredients, typically including tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and various meats such as salami, prosciutto, or pancetta. The flatbread is often grilled or toasted until it becomes crispy and golden, hence the name "grillattu," which translates to "grilled" in Italian.

The preparation of grillattu involves spreading a thin layer of tomato sauce or marinara on the flatbread, followed by slices of mozzarella cheese. The chosen meat is then added, along with any additional toppings such as fresh basil, olives, or bell peppers. The flatbread is then grilled or toasted in a pan until it is crispy and the cheese has melted. Grillattu is often served as a main course or as a snack, and it is a popular dish in Italian cuisine for its simplicity and delicious flavor combination.
