TOMATO BREAD SALAD WITH CHORIZO AND HERBS

Tomato Bread Salad With Chorizo and Herbs image

I often make panzanella, the Italian bread and tomato salad. To give it Spanish flair, more heft and a dose of spice, I tossed in cubes of crisp cured chorizo. We ate it for dinner one night and fried up the leftovers for brunch, topped with poached eggs.

Ingredients

3 ounces day-old country bread, torn into bite-size pieces, about 3 cups
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound dried (cured) chorizo, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup Spanish onion, finely chopped

Steps:

Heat broiler. Spread bread on large baking sheet and toast until just golden, about 1 minute.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb cherry tomatoes, halved
4 scallions, sliced on the diagonal
1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
9 ounces chorizo sausage, sliced
1 bunch flat leaf parsley

Steps:

Put the tomatoes in a mixing bowl with the scallions and drained cannellini beans.
Season with sea salt and a little freshly ground black pepper; then drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil and the vinegar and mix to combine.
Heat a frying pan (without any oil - chorizo simply does not need it) and add the chorizo.
Cook gently for a couple of minutes on each side. The chorizo will secrete a lot of oil. Do not throw it away! It is delicious if you want to fry a few potatoes in it. Or, add some of the oil to the salad!
To serve; transfer the tomato, bean and onion mixture to a serving dish and top with the hot chorizo. Scatter over the chopped parsley and serve at once.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are plump, firm, and have a deep red color.
If you don't have any fresh chorizo, you can use pre-cooked chorizo from the deli section of your grocery store.
Be sure to cook the chorizo until it is crispy. This will help to render out the fat and give the chorizo a delicious flavor.
If you like your salad spicy, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
This salad is also great with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

This tomato and chorizo salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is packed with flavor and can be served as a main course or a side dish. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy recipe, give this tomato and chorizo salad a try!
