Background
If you have some stale bread, the easiest way to use it up is to make panzanella. This roasted squash and beet panzanellaΒ is taking the idea a bit further, making a lovely and filling dish during the winter months. You can use fresh herbs too - rosemary, oregano and thyme would workΒ well withΒ the roasted veggies!
Ingredients
- 500g beetroot
- ½ medium butternut squash
- 2 tsp mixed Italian herbs (dried)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 200g stale rustic bread (or ciabatta)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 red chilli, deseeded
- 1 red onion
- 1 handful basil leaves
- 2 large handfuls of mixed baby salad leaves (such as rocket, baby spinach, watercress)
- Dressing: 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Peel the beetroot and squash then cut them into bite-sized chunks.
- Arrange them in a roasting tray, then sprinkle with herbs and drizzle with the oil. Rub the herby oil into the vegetables. Put the tray in the oven.
- Meanwhile, tear the bread into chunks, and toss with the oil. Chop the garlic and chilli, sprinkle these over the bread.
- When the vegetables are tender (after 25-30 minutes), add the bread, garlic & chilli pieces, mix everything well. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until the bread is crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the onion. Mix the dressing, season to taste.
- Transfer the vegetables into a large serving bowl. Add the onions and pour over the dressing. Toss well. Let it cool for a couple of minutes, while you chop the basil leaves.
- Add the basil and lettuce leaves. Toss well. Season to taste.
