Winter Panzanella

An autumnal take on the Italian classic bread salad. Here we roasted seasonal squash with rosemary and garlic and partner it with oven roasted, olive oil loaded ciabatta. A colourful and satisfying warm salad that will be most welcome on any dinner table.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan. Place 1 chopped butternut squash onto a large roasting tray along with 6 cloves of garlic, in their skins and 2 springs finely chopped rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle generously with 2 tbsp olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes until the squash is tender and crispy around the edges and the garlic is soft.

Step 2

While the squash is roasting, take another large baking tray and lay on 2 torn ciabatta rolls and 200g purple sprouting broccoli. Season with yet more salt, pepper, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp chilli flakes (if using). Pop the tray into the hot oven to join the squash for 10-15 minutes until the broccoli is slightly charred and the bread golden.

Step 3

Once all the elements are cooked, remove the trays from the oven and mix all the ingredients gently on a large serving platter. Squeeze the soft, sticky garlic from their skins and spread the contents over the salad sporadically, focusing on the bread and squash. Lightly drizzle over 2tbsp red wine vinegar and dress with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Enjoy while warm with a scattering of pumpkin and sunflower seeds.
