Ingredients

1kg ripe mixed tomatoes , halved if small, quartered if large
300g day-old sourdough or ciabatta, torn into large chunks

50ml red wine vinegar
1 small shallot , finely chopped
50g tin anchovies , drained and roughly chopped

Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the tomatoes in a colander and sprinkle over 1 tsp sea salt, then leave to sit for 15 mins.

In a bowl, whisk together the remaining oil, the vinegar and shallot. Season to taste. Toss the anchovies with the tomatoes, croutons, olive oil dressing, the olives and half the basil in a large bowl. Spoon the panzanella onto a serving plate and top with the remaining basil.
