Panzanella
Panzanella is a traditional Italian salad made with stale bread, ripe tomatoes, red onions, and basil, all tossed together and dressed with olive oil and vinegar. The bread soaks up the juices from the tomatoes and the dressing, so every mouthful is full of flavor. It’s filling enough to be a meal on its own, or you can make it as a side for a summer BBQ.
Price range: €5.00 through €67.16
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas mark 4).
Step 2
Combine the tomato and onion in a bowl and sprinkle over the sugar and half the salt. Set aside at room temperature.
Step 3
Place the capsicum on a baking tray, skin side up, and drizzle over 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Roast for 30-45 minutes until soft and blistered, then remove from the oven and allow to cool. Remove the skin, slice the capsicum into strips and set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, garlic and remaining olive oil and salt and toss through the bread.
Step 5
Strain the tomato and onion very well, then place in a large salad bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients and toss gently to combine.
Step 6
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil, season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
