Smoked Black Bread Panzanella from Sunday Suppers' Kitchen

This Smoked Black Bread Panzanella is an early springtime favorite, with warm harmonious flavors of smoke, sweet, and a touch of bitter. Each recipe in Simple Fare is, as its title suggests, simple, but by no means does that imply an artlessness—recipes are aspirational but perfectly accessible. Each dish offers alternatives for original ingredients, so you can tailor your dish to your surroundings and your resources. Smoked ricotta is rich and creamy, but cow’s-milk ricotta serves as a great substitution. Saba (“cooked grape juice” in Italian), is an unfermented vinegar that adds a sweetly caramelized note from Trebbiano grapes and a rich, deep hue to the plate. True to Sunday Suppers’ mission to connect community through cooking, this dish is best when shared with friends and loved ones.
