Amore d'talia
Serves 2 | Prep Time 15 Mins | Cook Time 25 Mins
Method
Pre heat oven to 160°C. Cut bread into 1cm cubes, cover in a bit of olive oil and sprinkle the Italian spice blend all over the cubes with a solid pinch of salt. Mix well with your hands and cook for about 25-30mins. (Don't let the crotons burn as they turn bitter. Add crushed garlic cloves to the roasting tray for even more flavour).
Make salad dressing. Combine 50ml of extra virgin olive oil with 25ml of aged balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt. (Mix well before adding to salad).
Chop tomatoes, cucumber and red onion. Pick fresh basil leaf and put all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Once crotons have cooked & cooled add them to the mixing bowl with dressing and mix well. Serve into a bowl with burrata.
