Panzanella

Ingredients List

Instructions

1. Roughly chop the tomatoes, and put into a large serving bowl.  Sprinkle with sugar and salt, and set aside for 20-30 minutes to draw out the juices.

2. In a separate bowl, mix the onion with the vinegar and set aside to soften.

3. Mix the bread pieces into the tomatoes, so that they start to absorb the tomato juices.

4. Meanwhile add the lemon juice, oil, and crushed garlic to the onions, and whisk to make a dressing.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

5. Add the beans, olives and dressing to the bread and tomatoes and mix well to combine.

6. Finally, scatter over the torn basil leaves and serve.
