Ingredients

  • 300 g of stale tuscan bread
  • 30 g of fresh onion
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 10 fresh basil leaves
  • some parsley depending on one's taste
  • 5 tsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tsp of white wine vinegar
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Place the stale bread in a container with plenty of water until the bread is saturated with water.
  • Squeeze the bread to take out the excess water and successively divide the bread up into small pieces and put it into a bowl.
  • Now pour the vinegar into the bowl and let the bread take in the vinegar.
  • Cut the parsley and the basil finely and place them into the bowl.
  • Now cut the tomatoes in cubes and place them into the bowl.
  • Once this is done put the oil, salt and pepper in and mix as a salad.
  • You could also add a grilled eggplant to the mix and a handful of chicory. I did not add this to this recipe because I've been proven that not everyone likes these two ingredients in the Panzanella.
