Method

Sungold Panzanella

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the Sungold tomatoes and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped Sungold tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and basil leaves.

  3. 3

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle olive oil and red wine vinegar over the vegetable mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Add Bread

    Tear the sourdough bread into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl. Gently toss everything together to combine, ensuring the bread absorbs the juices.

  5. 5

    Let it Rest

    Allow the panzanella to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Corn Saffron Broth

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and finely chopped shallot, sautéing until they become translucent.

    Add Corn and Stock

    Stir in the fresh corn kernels and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil.

    Infuse with Saffron

    Once boiling, reduce heat and add a pinch of saffron threads. Allow the broth to simmer for about 15 minutes.

  4. 9

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Use an immersion blender to puree the broth until smooth, if desired.
