Panzanella
Panzanella is a great way to use up stale bread. It's made for warm summer days, when tomatoes are at their best. Serve with something simple like a beef carpaccio.

Place the tomatoes, squeezing some of them to release their juice, in a large salad bowl along with the reserved seeds and juice. Mix with most of the olives and red onion, and some more olive oil. Add the sourdough, herb oil mixture and vinegar, and combine to make sure the bread is coated in all the juices.

Transfer the salad to a serving platter, layering the tomato slices, olives, onion and sourdough. Drizzle over the remaining herb oil and garnish with basil leaves and the remaining red onion and olives. Season again with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
