Best 8 Bonnies Cornbread Panzanella Salad Recipes

CORNBREAD PANZANELLA

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, reserving the drippings in the skillet, then chop.
• Add half of the Cornbread cubes to the hot bacon drippings in the skillet and brown on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let cool. Add vegetable oil to the skillet if it becomes dry, then brown the remaining cornbread cubes. Let cool.
• Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, basil, capers, cucumber and onion. Toss well to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, or serve right away.
• Just before serving, add the cornbread cubes and bacon and toss. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch baking pan with vegetable shortening or cooking spray.
• Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, butter, vegetable oil and egg in a separate bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (The batter will be lumpy and thick.)
• Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

CORNBREAD PANZANELLA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet with vegetable oil. Place the skillet in the oven or on top of the stove to heat. For the batter, place the cornmeal in a large bowl, and stir in the buttermilk and vegetable oil until smooth. Pour the batter into the hot skillet, and place the skillet in the oven. Bake until it is lightly browned, about 16 to 20 minutes. Run a knife around the skillet and turn the cornbread out onto a rack to cool completely. Cut the cornbread into 1-inch squares.
• Reduce the oven heat to 350 degrees. Place 4 cups cornbread squares in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Turn onto a baking sheet and spread them out in one layer. Place the pan in the oven, and bake the croutons until they are lightly browned, stirring once or twice during cooking, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and let the croutons cool.
• Place the olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until it starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the corn, cumin, and salt and pepper. Cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat, and set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
• Place the spinach or arugula in a large salad bowl. Spoon the corn mixture over the top, and add the sliced tomatoes and avocado. Season the top with salad and pepper to taste. Drizzle on your favorite vinaigrette. Garnish the top of the salad with the cornbread croutons, feta, and basil. Toss and serve.

CORN BREAD PANZANELLA

• Make corn bread croutons:
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Heat bacon fat in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in middle of oven 5 minutes.
• While fat heats, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together egg and milk in a small bowl, then add to dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.

Stir fat with scallions and melted butter into batter until just combined, then pour batter into hot skillet. Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Turn corn bread out onto a rack and cool 15 minutes. (Leave oven on.)

• Roast red and yellow bell peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes (or broil peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes). Transfer peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let stand 20 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and cut into 1-inch pieces.
