For the tomato sauce

  • The better the tomatoes the better the sauce! This is my basic tomato sauce but I have plenty of variations on this website. In a sauce pot add 3 tbsp of olive oil with onion, chili flakes, and garlic.
    Cook for 3 minutes and then add the tomatoes. Add the water and 1 1/2 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cover with a lid. Cook for about 30-45 minutes and then add basil leaves.
    Then with a hand blender or vitamix puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper if needed. You can allow to cool to room temperature.

For the panzanella

  • Place all of the vegetables and fruit into a large bowl. Drizzle vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix well. Add the croutons to the bowl.
    You can let this marinate for a few minutes as all of the ingredients will release a bit of water and soak in its own juices. Then place a spoonful of cold tomato sauce on to the plate.
    Using a ring mold place it on top of the sauce. Then fill the ring mold with your panzanella salad. Garnish with basil flowers and leaves. Serve and enjoy!
