Day 172: Pan Bagnat Panzanella Salad

Pan+bagnat+panzanella
Dinner was lunch today, as I ate before heading to CBC and then went more or less straight to Julliard to celebrate my brother in law’s graduation, where we had drinks and snacks and cake, not really dinner per se, so again I’m falling back on what was technically my last meal of the day. It was hot enough this afternoon to turn my baggie of chocolate covered pretzels into a bag of pretzels in chocolate sauce in the car, so there was no actual cooking. Fortunately I just came up with this new salad – a cross between pan bagnat (pan ban-YAH) – a sandwich from the south of France made with tuna, olives, tomatoes and hard boiled eggs – and a panzanella salad, which is based on torn up chunks of bread, rather than lettuce, potatoes or other vegetables or grains. The bread soaks up the dressing, and creates a more substantial base; it’s kind of like tearing up your sandwich into chunks and eating it with a fork.

If you want to drizzle the torn bread chunks with oil and toast them they will turn out more like croutons; Jamie Oliver has a similar salad onto which he sets a softly poached egg, whose yolk then dribbles over the greens and mingles with the lemony dressing. That’s definitely on my to-eat list for next week.

    This Pan Bagnat / Panzanella salad looks so fresh and perfect for summer. I really like how simple ingredients are turned into something so flavorful and filling. Mediterranean-style salads always feel light but still very satisfying, especially with good quality bread and fresh vegetables. It’s also interesting to see how different places interpret salad concepts in their own way, similar to how fast food chains like Arby’s present options such as Arby’s salads. Great recipe and beautifully explained!
