Authentic Fettunta Recipe Tuscany, Italy

Fettunta is a traditional Italian appetizer or side dish and the Tuscan equivalent of bruschetta (some say that bruschetta is just the summer version of fettunta). Its name is derived from the phrase la fetta unta, which means an oily slice, referring to the main ingredients - a thick slice of Tuscan bread and olive oil. Although it's typically enjoyed on its own, drizzled with olive oil, rubbed with garlic, and seasoned with salt, fettunta is often served as an accompaniment to stews and sauces such as cioppino and ragu.
