What is panzanella?

Panzanella or panmolle is a Tuscan salad that includes soaked stale bread, onions and tomatoes that is particularly popular in the summer. It sometimes includes cucumbers, as well as basil and is dressed with olive oil and vinegar. In more recent years, it has become popular in other parts of central Italy.

Perfect as a side dish with chicken based dishes like our delicious bang bang chicken.

Ingredients:

• A handful of tomatoes (different colour heritage ones if possible)
• The end of a sourdough loaf
• 2 tsps of capers
• Half a red onion
• A good glug of balsamic vinegar
• A glug of olive/rapeseed oil

3. Put a frying pan on a low heat with a good glug of oil.
4. Rip the sourdough into chunks and throw in, turning occasionally until crisp.
