Hey Kenji! Chef John actually used that same trick of salting the tomatoes in advance and use the resulting juice in the dressing. You guys seriously need to do a collab!

Ah, I miss a good panzanella. I used to make it with the days fresh focaccia bread for immediate service, so drying out the bread and draining the tomatoes was not needed. Mine was more green with an arugula heavy greens mix instead of just basil. So good and refreshing on a summer evening.

I can't even imagine the honor of being mentioned on an accomplished chef's channel like this. Awesome that you mentioned Ethan here!

Thank you for making these videos! It really helps having explanations for the chemistry behind the meal to further my understanding of why certain things are done in the dish

I just looove how the cooking is explained so scientifically! That too in a matter of fact manner! 💚

I've got a few days old rustic bread and a big box of heirloom tomatoes from the neighbors. Timing is amazing.

I make a very similar dish as a dinner during the summer. I add in some sliced and halved cucumbers to the tomatoes and bread, with a dressing of just red wine vinegar and olive oil, and maybe some chicken thighs if I'm feeling like it, all finished a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a bunch of basil. Always a hit in the household!

I made a caprese salad recently with some locally-grown tomatoes and fresh basil and mozzarella. It's amazing how those simple ingredients come together to make such tasty dishes.

Ethan getting a shout out, everything is coming full circle.

Ethan got me into pickled red onions and now they are permanently in my fridge now. Just had them on a sandwich for lunch ;) After watching ~50 of his videos where they made an appearance in 49.... I had to try them!

You should do a video shows us you grocery shopping! That would be soooo good to see your thoughts as you shop! You’re the best! I’m addicted to watching you, been watching for 3 years

I'm such a big fan! thank you KENJI!

This looks really good!

I just happened to have a half loaf of whole wheat sour dough, tomatoes and basil from my northern CA organic market. Salad is now resting on the counter. It’s gorgeous :)

I used your immersion blender mayo trick on a vinaigrette the other day and it worked great! 10/10 would emulsify again

Too funny. I found your recipe for this on Serious Eats a couple months ago. I've been making it all summer long! It makes a perfect lunch!

I’d love to see your kitchen cleaning routine. I had a jam recipe in too small of a pot, it overboiled, and now I can’t get my cooktop clean. There’s gotta be a pro-tip for that sort of thing!

OMG! I love this! 😋😋

I absolutely love the casual, comfortable yet still professional style of these videos. Nothing quite like it anywhere else on KZread :)

Ethan's videos are really great. I never realized how versatile pickled onions can be but he convinced me.

Great tip about draining the tomatoes! I wish I had known that when I tried making your corn salad with seasonal heirlooms and other types of fresh tomatoes because when I arrived at the cook-out I went to, there was just a pool of tomato juices at the bottom of the bowl. I'll definitely keep this tip in mind for future tomato salads.

Man, I was hoping that some of the channels I watch to take up the mantle of showing all of us who have crops coming in some good recipes. So far, you’re the only one. I don’t measure anything either. Baking may be a science but cooking can be a jam. Practical, fresh and definitely anyone can do this. Kenji is always covering the best of the basics. I love that this is the kind of thing you can toss in in the side if you have way too many tomatoes that you have no idea why to do with. I know I do.

I made this, except I used balsamic vinegar and some barbari bread from a local Afghan market. Absolutely delicious, thank you.

I really like this a lot . I make it all the time!

Love this salad. My friend always makes it from serious eats and she sent me the link. Love your video. Trying to make this tomorrow (even though it’s not tomato season)

Oh man my uncle lives on Whidbey and while visiting him I was trying every IPA from Fremont and the Ollie was by far by favorite. Been trying to figure out how to get my hands on it here in Florida

I make this recipe all the time- like weekly. I like to add fresh mozzarella and call it dinner. Thank you for making my summer a little more delicious.

Thanks for this video.

Great dish. On the 3rd time I made it, I added some thin lemon slivers (with rind), a spanking of dried herbs and goat cheese slices.

Thanks and cheers Chef Kenji. Your videos are the best. Your POV approach is the best teaching method for we (me?) wanna-be home "chefs".

I HAVE to make this!!!!!!!

Very nice sharing 💕💕

I'm sure this simplistic version lets the heirloom tomatoes shine. I like to add minced anchovies and some capers/olives, lots of possibilities is why i love panzanella.

Hmm that's so weird, I suddenly crave a cold refreshing Fremont Brewing™ Ollie IPA.

delectable.

Great video as always. I look forward to trying this. FYI I one of my corgis would steal my tomatoes off the vine.

I always have leftover salad, and can't stand the texture of the bread after a couple hours, so I started deconstructing the salad the next day for breakfast. Retoast the bread cubes, and add the veg to a scramble 👌

Do you clean your big wooden cutting board in the sink after each use? Or just wipe off? Trying to figure out the threshold for when it needs a full soap/water treatment.

I have leftovers of a marinated tomato salad from a bbq Sunday and I was going to make a panzanella but theres way more liquid than I need. I dont want to throw away the rest of the marinating liquid/dressing from the tomatoes, any other ideas about how to use it?

Add some bread and cucumbers and peppers and olive oil and blend it into gazpacho.

Bruschetta is also a great bread and tomatoe dish :)

Does anyone know what size his cutting board is?

I don't think I have ever had bread like you are talking about.

Let me start out by saying this is my favorite recipie because I have never been leftover-pipelined towards gazpacho. I think I originally got hooked on your videos bc of your no-nonsense type of movement (decisively licking the dijon spoon clean before putting it back into action, an example) here's my question: About the tomato liquid coming out and then back in in the name of emulsion: I think I get it

are there any dishes you recommend as the "clean out your fridge" dish?

@noah99715

It seems he goes for egg-based dishes like Frittata and Omelettes as a "throw everything you have left in it". Personally I go for pizzas, if you don't have dough, use tortillas and cook them in the oven, you can make a bunch of different themed ones to really make certain ingredients shine. Salads work great too, pick a green base and throw everything you've got in. You can use grilled cheeses, quesadillas, or other bread/dough + cheese + random filling type meals as well. Great for getting rid of various meat or to sautee up some veg and throw in.

can you please explain how the emulsion forms with the oil? i’m not quite sure what binds the water and oil together.

I first horizontally slice my onion then vertically does it make a difference ?

@JKenjiLopezAlt

2 жыл бұрын

No, whichever is easier for you.

The idea of salting before, and using the juice for the dressing is brilliant. But I also think the salad is supposed to get soggy, otherwise the big hunks of bread are unedible. But, this should happen while serving and eating, not before, so the texture changes during the meal. So, you could also store the tomatoes and bread separately and mix them when ordered. My two cents.

Very old beans will not get soft, no matter what technique is used to prepare it. Also if you have hard water or chlorinated water will make softening more difficult. Avoid using acidic ingredients (lemon juice, tomatoes, vinegar and even molasses) before beans are soft.

How do you keep that big wooden cutting board from smelling like onions and garlic all the time? I wash and oil my Boos regularly, but it inevitably gets an old garlic/onion/pepper funk which infects other foods. No one likes an onion scented apple.

Needs cucumber 😉 thanks for the video. I just told my wife that I’m going to make Panzanella tomorrow with our leftover baguette - and here you are 😅 sometimes it’s scary… Regards from Germany 🇩🇪 Edit: my recipe i always do, is a little bit different: no emulsion, because the bread soaks all the juices, so why should I?! We use cucumber in addition and it fits perfectly. I can recommend white balsamic vinegar. This gives a nice mix of acid and sweet. I love Ethans pickled red onion but in this salad I always use ordinary red onions like the Italians do and it’s very nice and sharp!

Traveling through the Midwest and south during summer vacations, we often encountered stewed tomatoes with pinches of sliced white bread. I love stewed tomatoes so I always picked my way around the soggy white clumps. Is there any virtue to this old fashioned dish?

“I just make what looks right and what tastes good.” That about sums up Kenji’s philosophy/videos, and I LOVE it!
