Today’s Food TV Face-Off is going to be Emeril Lagasse vs. Dave Lieberman, in a panzanella showdown. You may not be familiar with the term panzanella. Panzanella is an Italian dish. For a complete definition I went to one of the best sources on the web www.epicurious.com.
“ panzanella
[pahn-zah-NEHL-lah]
An Italian bread salad made with onions, tomatoes, basil, olive oil, vinegar and seasonings and chunks of bread. Some versions also include cucumbers, anchovies and/or peppers. More traditional recipes call for soaking the bread in water and then squeezing the water out. Others suggest browning the bread in olive oil before adding it to the salad.
