Cuisine: Italian

Nothing is wasted in an Italian kitchen; this salad recipe uses stale bread which soaks up the flavours of the dressing while retaining a slight crunchy texture.

Ingredients

1 loaf white Italian style bread
300ml extra virgin olive oil
100ml balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, crushed
5 ripe tomatoes
1 small red onion
½ bunch basil
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Remove the crust from the bread. Cut into even sized cubes and bake until golden brown and dry. Cool.

In a bowl place the oil, vinegar and garlic. Add the bread and toss.

Remove the core from the tomatoes and roughly chop. Thinly slice the red onion and add both to the bowl. Pick the basil leaves and tear into small pieces. Season to taste and serve immediately.

Cooked grains are more moist and tender, and have tend to cling together more than long grain. Short grain rice has a short, plump, almost round kernel. Cooked grains are soft and cling together.
