Appetizer? Aperitif? Quick lunch? This recipe is ideal for many moments of the day. Panzanella is a poor man's dish common to many central and southern Italian cuisines. The skillful reuse of leftover bread is the basis of its preparation. We have prepared a modern, very simple version that leaves room for the full flavour of our mozzarella.
Ingredients for
4 servings
- 4 slices of homemade bread
- 500 g of cherry tomatoes
- 1 bunch of basil
- 250 g of Sabelli mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- Extra virgin olive oil, salt to taste
Prodotti utilizzati per questa ricetta
Mozzarella Fior di Latte Castelluccio
300 g
Method
Remove the crust from the bread and cut it into regular cubes about half a centimetre in diameter. Place on a baking tray and toast in the oven for a couple of minutes. Prepare the candied cherry tomatoes. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them side by side on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Season lightly with salt and drizzle with oil. Finish the seasoning by sprinkling them with brown sugar. Bake at 90°C for twenty minutes. If you don't have time for this operation, you can easily use raw tomatoes seasoned with oil and salt: the result will be just as good. While the cherry tomatoes are cooking, make the pesto. Clean the basil and remove the stems. Place the leaves in the mouth of a blender, add a couple of tablespoons of oil and chop for a few seconds at high speed. Add salt to taste. When ready, cut the mozzarella into cubes. Place the pesto on the bottom of a jar, followed by the bread, the candied tomatoes, and their sauce, and finally the mozzarella. Close the jar and bring it to the table, recommending that your guests shake it before tasting.
WISDOM PILL
For the recipe to be successful, it is necessary to use the freshest mozzarella, with a firm but succulent texture. If you don't have a jar available, you can use a bowl or glass as a container.
