Charred chorizo, peach & pitta panzanella
Recipe by Sarah Cook
A riff on the Tuscan summer salad which uses up leftover bread, this salad lasts well in the fridge (minus the leaves). So even if you’re not serving 6 for dinner, make the full recipe, keeping the rocket separate, and store leftovers for lunch

Ingredients
- 2 x 400g packs Taste the Difference chorizo-style pork sausages
- 4 large, slightly under-ripe peaches, halved and stoned
- 3 white pitta breads
- 1⁄2-1 tbsp olive oil, for brushing
- 1 x 125g bag mozzarella pearls, drained
- 1 x 60g pack wild rocket or leaves of your choice
For the dressing
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 1⁄2 tsp English mustard powder, or 1⁄2 tbsp made English mustard
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp caster sugar
Step by step
- Get your barbecue up to temperature then start cooking the sausages. They’ll take 20-30 minutes depending on how fierce your heat is, but don't cook them too quickly. When completely cooked through and slightly charred, lift them off the barbecue into a dish and cover.
- Brush the peach halves and pitta bread with a little olive oil on both sides, then add to the barbecue too. Cook both for a few minutes on each side, turning the pitta bread regularly so it is evenly toasted. When the bread is crisp and catching a little, and the peaches are scorched, skin blistering and starting to soften, they are ready. Have a plate on hand from the start to quickly lift off those items that are done first.
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients with some seasoning. Cut each peach half into 2 or 3 wedges, halve the sausages, and tear the pitta into large chunks – or roughly chop with scissors if the bread is still too hot to handle.
- To assemble, combine the sausage chunks, peach wedges, pitta bread pieces and mozzarella pearls on a platter and drizzle on the dressing. Mix to combine well, then scatter on the rocket and mix through lightly to serve.
