Panzanella is a traditional summer bread salad. It is pertaining to Tuscany’s poor cookery, when bread was baked once a week and the ingenious women dressed up stale bread with vegetables that they found in the vegetable garden. Quick to make, requires no cooking, be sure to use a good quality country bread pane casalingo. Can be served like appetizer or first course, perfect at “merenda” .
Ingredients for 4 people:
Cut the bread into slices and soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes. Then squeeze well the slices, break them up reducing them into crumbles and put in a salad bowl. Add in the tomatoes, the onion and the cucumber. Then add the basil leaves, season with salt and pepper and dress with olive oil. Turn all and put in the fridge; at the moment of serving, season again with vinegar and oil (be generous). buon appetito
There are some museums in Florence considered “minor” that are real jewels; one of them is the Bardini Museum, which reopened to the public in April after a long restoration, it is in only open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, from 11 a-m- to 5 p.m. but it is worth seeing. It contains , unique essential pieces that the antiques collector Stefano Bardini conserved: paintings, sculptures, ceramics masterpieces by artists like Della Robbia, Antonio del Pollaiolo, Donatello . Perfect the choice of the walls’colors: different shades of blue which are a perfect setting for this beautiful collection. I was fascinated by the drawings of Tiepolo (father and son) and “la Carità”, a memorable sculpture by Tino Camaino.
