Panzanella salad with sausage
Panzanella is a traditional Italian bread salad, made with day-old bread. Don’t worry – it’s more delicious than it sounds! The panzanella also known as pansanella, panmòllo or panmolle, is a poor dish of the Tuscan tradition, and in general of central Italy (Lazio, Marche and Umbria), prepared by farmers who intent on working in the fields improvised their meal with the summer harvest of the garden (tomatoes, onions and cucumbers and peppers) and bread, always inevitable in Italian cuisine. Simple recipe also very useful to recycle stale bread avoiding unnecessary waste.
Panzanella salad: a simple but very tasty summer dish, inspired by the classic Tuscan Panzanella, a dish of poor origin, based on stale bread soaked in water and seasoned with oil, vinegar, salt and basil. In some regions of central Italy, such as Umbria, Panzanella is enriched with other ingredients such as tomato, onion and today with the addition of sausage, but it can really be seasoned in many ways. Today I propose it with onion, sausage tomato and yellow pepper... and of course the stale bread! A real goodness, enjoyed cold is wonderful, try it now!
Ingredients
80g slices of stale bread80g cherry tomatoes1 small red onion 1 yellow pepper3 basil leaves1 Sausage red vinegarolive oilsaltpepper from the pepper mill
Preparation
Soak the bread in a bowl of water acidulated with half a glass of vinegar. Peel the onion, cut it into slices and soak it in cold water for 5 minutes. Wash the pepper, remove the stem, seeds and inner white filaments and cut into slices. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Cut the sausage into pieces of 2-3 cm and brown it in a pan with 4 tablespoons of oil for 4-6 minutes until golden brown on all sides. At this point, blend it with half a glass of vinegar and when it has dried, remove it from the heat. When the bread is well soaked, remove it from the water, squeeze it with your hands and crumble it in a salad bowl. Add the tomatoes, drained onion, pepper, sausage and chopped basil leaves with your hands. Season with a little salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil. Stir and serve.
