Bonnies Cornbread Panzanella Salad Recipes

CORNBREAD PANZANELLA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Arrange the Sour Cream Cornbread cubes on a baking pan in a single layer and bake until fairly dried out, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss together the tomatoes, celery, scallions, oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Let stand at least 10 minutes. Add the cornbread and basil and toss again to coat. Serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal mix, creamed corn, sour cream, oil and eggs. Pour the mixture into the skillet and bake until lightly browned, about 30 minutes.

BONNIE'S CORNBREAD PANZANELLA SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Make the cornbread ahead so it is ready for you to prepare the salad. Cut the cornbread into small cubes. Jiffy mix is okay to use.
• 2. Combine the cornbread, tomatoes, fontina cheese and basil leaves in a small serving bowl. Set bowl in the fridge until dinner time.
• 3. Make the dressing. In a pint jar, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Put a lid on it, shake the bottle and place in the fridge until dinner time.
• 4. When you are ready to serve the salad, shake the dressing, pour it over the ingredients in the serving bowl, and mix very gently to combine without tearing up the cornbread. Do a taste test to make sure it has enough salt. Serve immediately.

CORN BREAD PANZANELLA

Steps:

• Make corn bread croutons:
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Heat bacon fat in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in middle of oven 5 minutes.
• While fat heats, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together egg and milk in a small bowl, then add to dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
• Carefully remove hot skillet from oven and stir scallions into hot fat (they will sizzle). Stir fat with scallions and melted butter into batter until just combined, then pour batter into hot skillet. Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Turn corn bread out onto a rack and cool 15 minutes. (Leave oven on.)
• Cut corn bread into 3/4-inch cubes and spread in 1 layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake in upper third of oven until edges are golden, about 10 minutes, then cool in pan on a rack.
• Make salad:
• Roast red and yellow bell peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes (or broil peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes). Transfer peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let stand 20 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
• Whisk together vinegars, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Add tomatoes, onion, and olives to vinaigrette, tossing to coat, and marinate 10 to 15 minutes.
• Add roasted peppers, cucumbers, basil, mint, parsley, and croutons to bowl and toss.
