Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    This is a very simple, but tasty salad. A definite Summer staple.

    Good basic recipe for panzanella but I thought something was off in the ratio of tomatoes to bread. 20 tomatoes to ~4 ounces of bread? Only if using very small cherry or campari tomatoes, I think. I used 2 large heirlooms and a little more bread, and still wanted more bread in it.

    Very simple, and simply delicious! I used three field tomatoes and a bit more bread than indicated.

    p. 198 - The one thing I most anticipate is access to in the summer months is homegrown tomatoes and the one dish that I’d eat morning noon and night when tomatoes are in season is panzanella. This is a dish that screams summertime. Mouthwatering tomatoes, the heady aromas of fresh basil, rich delicious olive oil and good quality crispy/soggy bread. I found some locally grown greenhouse tomatoes on the weekend, they were still on the vine and they actually smelled like tomatoes. The first thing I thought of was panzanella! This is one of the best versions I’ve made. I really like the inclusion of red wine vinegar. Mine was a Niagara-region Pinot Noir vinegar. mr bc is not normally a fan of this dish as he hates soggy bread but RN’s toasting method ensured the bread maintained some crunch and mr bc loved the dish.
