Panzanella salad

1. How to make Panzanella salad? Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Cut the baguette into thin slices and place on a baking sheet. Place in the oven for 5 minutes until crisp.


2. Remove the baguette and cool slightly, rub 2 cloves of garlic. Break into small pieces, sprinkle generously with olive oil and put in the oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Cool on a baking sheet.


3. Heat a frying pan and add the remaining olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic. Saute for 2 minutes, then add tomatoes and peppers cut into 4 parts. Reduce the heat, cover and cook for 20 minutes until all the liquid has evaporated. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Add the garlic croutons and serve.

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.

Choose juicy tomatoes, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.
