Yellow Bell Pepper Panzanella From 'Family Table'
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 4 yellow bell peppers, cored, seeded, and cut into thin strips
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cut or torn 1-inch chunks day-old bread
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups torn fresh basil leaves
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and light golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and garlic and cook until very soft, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Toss the bread cubes with 2 tablespoons of the oil and spread on a baking sheet. Toast until light golden, 7 to 10 minutes; check them after 5 minutes to make sure they don't get too dark. Allow to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the pepper mixture and capers and fold in the bread. Add the two vinegars and season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside for about 15 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Right before serving, gently mix in the basil leaves and drizzle the salad with the remaining 1/4 cup oil.
