A Recipe Idea: Tuscan Panzanella

Specialty Ingredients
#91003 Neapolitan Sauce (Pomodorina)

Ingredients
N° 3 Slice of Ciabatta bread, 1” thick
4 oz Red onion, thinly sliced
3 oz Cucumber, peeled and deseeded
3 oz Italian celery
1 sprig Basil, fresh
Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
Fine sea salt & fresh ground black pepper
1 tbsp White wine vinegar
9 oz Neapolitan (Pomodorina) Sauce

Preparation
Place the thinly sliced red onions in a bowl with cold water and the white wine vinegar. Allow to soak for 1 hour. Fine dice the celery and cucumber. Roughly crumble the bread (using bread that is 2 days old will produce better flavor). Chop the basil in a thin julienne. Set aside.

In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients except the bread. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator overnight.

Distribute the chunky pieces of bread evenly on a plate. Cover the bread with the cold soup mixture and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Serve cold or at room temperature.

For a variation, add black olives, chili peppers or Tabasco.
