- - 1 tsp. fennel seeds;
- - 4 things. fillet of anchovies;
- - 1 tbsp. l. capers;
- - oregano;
- - 2 cloves of garlic;
- - fresh basil;
- - 30 g of parmesan;
- - balsamic vinegar, olive oil.
Instructions
Step 1
Break the ciabatta into pieces about 2 cm in size. Spread them on a baking sheet, season with salt, fennel seeds and oregano (or other herbs). Sprinkle everything with olive oil and squeeze out 1 clove of garlic. Stir and place the oven, preheated to 220 degrees, for 4-5 minutes. Instead of ciabatta, you can use any other bread, no matter whether it is stale or fresh. But keep in mind that fresh bread needs to be dried a little longer in the oven. If the croutons burn a little, this will add even more piquancy to the salad.
