Peach Panzanella Recipes

Steps:

• Make the dressing by whisking the oil, lemon juice and capers together in a small bowl, then set aside.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Scatter the brioche cubes over a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
• Arrange the lettuce on a serving platter with the peaches and burrata and season well. To serve, drizzle over the dressing, then scatter over the thyme, basil and croutons.

Steps:

• Place garlic on a cutting board; hit it with the side of a large knife to break it open a bit. Place peaches, onion, and garlic in a large nonreactive bowl. Drizzle oil and vinegar over the fruit mixture; season with salt and pepper. Toss; let stand, covered, in a cool place, for 1 hour or more.
• Place bread on a hot grill or under a heated broiler; toast until both sides are slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, rub lightly with garlic if desired; tear bread into bite-size chunks. When ready to serve, add cucumbers, basil, and bread to peaches.
• Toss to coat bread thoroughly with the marinating liquid. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, and remove garlic clove.

Steps:

• Quick-pickle the shallots in a bowl with the cider vinegar and sugar. Destone and slice the peaches.
• Put the peaches in a bowl and toss with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, the chilli flakes, fennel seeds and some seasoning. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and sear the peaches for 2 mins each side until they have char lines on them. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Pour the vinegar from the shallots into a bowl and whisk together with the remaining olive oil and some seasoning to make a dressing.
• Put the peaches in a salad bowl or sharing platter with the lemon juice, shallots, capers and bread, season well and pour over the dressing. Add the rocket, basil and fennel fronds (if using), and toss thoroughly with your hands to combine.
