A modern twist on Panzanella, a ‘poor’ dish (piatto povero) of the Tuscan tradition, whose name derives from ‘bread to soak’.
High-quality ingredients are crucial for the success of a dish like this, as it is not ‘just’ a salad but a feast of Italian flavours. The original recipe calls for the use of red onion, vinegar and bread soaked in water, then squeezed and crumbled. Over time, the recipe was modified with the addition of other ingredients such as tomatoes, olives and mozzarella.
Suggested with Archetypon EVOO for a delicious match between the Italian Mediterranean tradition and the Greek one.
