Panzanella with saury

INGREDIENTS

• Dobroflot Pacific Saury in brine

• A day-old ciabatta bread (or any other white bread) 4 big pieces

• tomatoes 3–4 pcs. (around 500 g. total)

• Red onion - 1 pc.

• Olives - 100 g.

• Garlic - 1 clove.

• Green Basil – 2-3 sprigs.

• Extra virgin olive oil - 3–4 tbsp.

• Balsamic vinegar

• Freshly ground black pepper

• Salt

COOKING METHOD

Lightly toast bread cubes on all sides, cool down and rub with garlic. 

Place the bread cubes into a salad bowl and set aside.

Slice up tomatoes (for this salad find the ripest, tastiest, juiciest tomatoes).

You can combine tomatoes of different varieties and colors.

Thinly slice the onion on half-rings.

Place tomatoes and onions to the toasted bread, add olives and fresh basil (just cut it or tear with your hands). 

Dress with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, season to taste with freshly ground black pepper and salt and mix well.

Place the salad to refrigerator and let it sit for at least 30 minutes so that the bread soaks up the juices.

To serve, put the salad on plates and add a few pieces of saury on each portion.

Enjoy!
