Panzanella - Italiensk brödsallad
Rostat bröd i sallad - genialiskt! Tillsammans med söta tomater i olika färger, gurka, oliver, kapris och en enkel vinägrett. Kärnorna skrapar jag ur gurkan för att den ska bli mindre vattnig - spara gärna kärnorna och mixa ner i nästa smoothie! Kom ihåg att varken tomat eller gurka ska ligga i kylskåp, då förstörs nämligen smakerna - rumstempererade smakar de allra bäst! Om det skulle bli något över av salladen bör den dock förvaras i kyl (men det är ej troligt att det sker).
Panzanella - Italiensk brödsallad
4 portioner som förrätt eller tillbehör
Ingredienser
500 gram tomater i olika färger och former
1 gurka
1 burk (á ca 380 gram) valfria oliver
1 burk (á ca 100 gram) kapris
1 kruka färsk basilika
4 skivor surdegsbröd
Rapsvinägrett
3 msk kallpressad rapsolja
1 msk äppelcidervinäger
1 liten vitlöksklyfta
flingsalt och nymalen svartpeppar
Gör såhär
Dela tomaterna på mitten, skär större tomater i klyftor. Dela gurkan på mitten, på längden. Skrapa ur kärnorna med en liten sked. Skär gurkan i skivor på bredden. Häll av oliverna och kaprisen. Blanda tomater, gurka, oliver och kapris i en skål.
Blanda ihop ingredienserna till rapsvinägretten. Ringla över grönsakerna. Låt stå under tiden du rostar brödet.
Värm ugnen till 175°C. Riv brödet i mindre bitar, blanda med olja och en nypa salt. Lägg på en bakplåt och rosta i mitten av ugnen i ca 10 minuter, tills brödbitarna är gyllene och krispiga. Låt svalna.
Hacka basilikan grovt, blanda ner i salladen. Varva sallad och bröd på ett stort fat.
Tips! För en matigare variant lägg till 1 förpackning förkokta, avrunna, kikärtor (gärna marinerade i färska örter och lite vitlök) eller 270 gram marinerad tofu skuren i bitar och stekt tills gyllene.

Toasted bread in a salad - genius! Here is my take on an Italian classic. Sweet tomatoes, crispy cucumber, olives, capers and a simple yet delicious rapeseed vinaigrette this is a favourite of mine! If you have time let the vegetables marinate it the vinaigrette for a couple of hours before serving - and remember to not put it in the fridge as both tomatoes and cucumber tastes much more when kept in room temperature!
Panzanella - Italian bread salad
Serves 4 as side or first course
Ingredients
500 grams tomatoes in different colors and shapes
1 cucumber
1 can (380 grams) olives
1 can (100 grams) capers
2 handfulls of fresh basil
4 slices sourdough bread
Rapeseed vinaigrette
3 Tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 small garlic clove
flakey salt and freshly ground black pepper
How to
Cut the tomatoes in halv, cut bigger ones in smaller pieces. Cut the cucumber in half, scrape out the seeds by using a spoon (keep the seeds and add to your next smoothie to minimise food waste!), then slice the cucumber on the width. Drain the olives and capers. Toss together tomatoes, cucumber, olives and capers in a bowl.
Mix together the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Toss together with the vegetables.
Pre heat the oven to 175°C. Tear the bread in to smaller pieces, toss with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt. Roast the bread in the oven until brown and crispy. Let cool.
Chop the basil roughly. Toss together the vegetables, bread and basil and put on a big serving plate!
For an even more hearty salad serve with 300 grams cooked chickpeas (preferably marinated in herbs and garlic) or smoked tofu. Fry the chickpeas or tofu until slightly golden before serving!
Socca with kale pesto & mushroom and apple stir fry
First time I ever had a socca was at a early morning food market in Antibes, France. I’ve recreated my memories and paired it with the seasons finest!
A south European savoury pancake made of chickpea flour that goes perfectly well with a LOT of different dips, salsas, stir fries and compotes! Here I’ve made a filling out of the seasons finest; kale, mushrooms and sweet winter apples!
Socca with kale pesto & mushroom and apple stir fry
4 portions

2 1/2 dl / 1 cup chickpea flour
3 1/3 dl / 1.4 cups water
1 pinch salt
600 grams forrest mushrooms
2 winter apples
1 package of pre cooked butter beans
1 handful of fresh parsley, chopped
cold pressed coconut oil for frying, flavour free
Kale pesto
100 grams fresh kale
1 handful of fresh parsley
1 small garlic clove
1 dl / 0.8 cups cold pressed rapeseed oil
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 dl / 0.8 cups pepitas/pumpkin seeds
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For serving
Fresh parsley
sprouts
How to
Mix together the chickpea flour, water and salt. Let sit for 15 minutes. Heat a frying pan to medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil and a thin layer of batter. Fry for a couple of minutes, then turn around and fry for another minute. Do the same with the rest of the batter.
Cut away the thick bottom steam of the kale, tear the leafs in to smaller pieces. Mix all the ingredients, except for the pepitas, for the pesto until smooth. Add the pepitas and pulse a few times. Salt and pepper to taste.
Brush the mushrooms. Dice the apples. Rinse the beans. Fry everything in a tiny bit of oil until it get a nice lightly golden color. Salt and pepper to taste. Add the parsley.
