PANZANELLA, IS ONE OF THE FRESHEST SUMMER DISHES!

Of Tuscan origin, panzanella is a poor man’s dish that was created so stale bread would not go to waste. It is a very ancient recipe, so much so that it seems that Tuscan women prepared this dish for their peasant husbands even before America was discovered. It was therefore born even before tomatoes spread in Europe. This sounds really unusual since tomatoes are a fundamental part of Panzanella!

Today we prepared it using Mutti Cherry Tomatoes, which give a delicious taste to this dish.

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT PANZANELLA

In this recipe, we have also used white onion which adds a delicate taste. If you can’t find a white onion, we recommend thinly slicing a regular onion and immersing it in water with salt and vinegar for about 20 minutes. Then squeeze it out and add it to the rest of the mixture.

If you use Tuscan bread, remember that it doesn’t have much salt in it, so you will need to salt your mixture a little more than usual.

In general, a Panzanella can only be made with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and aromatic herbs. However, you can use your imagination by adding whatever you like most, making it rich and colorful like ours.
