Summer panzanella salad: Refreshing and simple, perfect for using up stale bread.
Ingredients:
  • 200 g stale ciabatta loaf
  • 600 g ripe mixed tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 handful small capers drained
  • 1 small red onion peeled and very finely sliced
  • 280 g jarred red peppers drained and roughly chopped
  • 8 anchovy fillets in oil drained and finely sliced (optional)
  • red wine vinegar

Instructions:
  • Tear the ciabatta into rough 3cm pieces and place on a tray. Let them sit in a warm place for about 30 minutes to dry out. In a bowl, combine tomatoes with salt, pepper, rinsed capers, onion, peppers, and anchovies (optional). Mix everything by hand, then add 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 3 times as much extra virgin olive oil. Adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, vinegar, or oil as necessary. Tear in basil leaves, stir, and serve. Enjoy with barbecued meats or roast chicken.
