Spicy Panzanella

Panzanella is an inexpensive bowl that turns hard bread that is difficult to consume into a tasty sponge, which even picky children enjoy. You can prepare this with a spicy vinaigrette for that extra kick!

Serves: 4

Ingredients

2 Large tomatoes, finely chopped

1 English cucumber (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

4–5 Slices Day-old bread

2 Tbsp. Olive oil plus a few drops for the pan

1 Medium jalapeño, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1 Lime Juice of one lime

Optional additions

Fresh chopped herbs

Peaches, nectarines or chopped plums

Finely chopped red onion

Chopped zucchini or summer squash

Pitted olives

Grapes

Instructions

Keep aside 2 tablespoons of finely chopped tomatoes for dressing.
Put the rest of the tomatoes and all the cucumbers into a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, stir and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add a few drops of olive oil. Add the jalapeño and sauté until it sizzles. Add the rest of the chopped tomato and a tablespoon of water. Cook the tomato for around 2 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. As soon as the water evaporates, cut it very finely and mix it with the lime juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir well, add salt and pepper accordingly.
Cut the bread into small pieces, then toast in a pan or skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the bread chunks are toasted on all sides.
Combine the bread, dressing and vegetables. Add more salt and pepper as desired.
