Unraveling the mysteries of home cooking through science. Use dried (not stale) bread and salted tomatoes to make the best version of this classic Italian bread salad. Panzanella is a great way to use up stale bread. It's made for warm summer days, when tomatoes are at their best.

Instructions to make Panzanella:
  1. Put a large nonstick pan on medium heat. Your garlic toast should already come pre-buttered, so just put it in the pan for a few minutes per side to toast it up. When they're crunchy and slightly scorched, remove them to cool.
  2. Put the bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, capers, shallot, dill, basil and lemon and orange zest in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk together the garlic, vinegar, olive oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing into the bowl of veg. Cut the garlic toast into bite-sized pieces and add them as well. Toss everything together, then refrigerate 30 minutes to overnight. When serving, use a veggie peeler to top the salad with slivers of parmesan cheese.

Serve with something simple like a beef carpaccio. I always forget how amazing panzanella is, and then around this time every summer, I remember. This classic Italian salad seems somehow too simple — and too improbable — to be as good as it is. We're talking about a mix of day-old bread and juicy ripe tomatoes with whatever veggies might be in need of using, all tossed with a light vinaigrette. Toss the anchovies with the tomatoes, croutons, olive oil dressing, the olives and half the basil in a large bowl.
