Chili powder: This is a large-batch chili recipe calls so it calls for a good amount of chili powder. If you buy a standard “chili” powder blend, it will likely not be very spicy. If you have “Chile” powder, with an “e” on the end, it is likely made from just dried, and ground, hot chiles and this powder will almost always be very spicy. If you are unsure how spicy your chili powder is, start with just 2 tablespoons, taste, and adjust accordingly.| www.sandravalvassori.com

Peak-season produce is best. This salad is really only worth making when peaches are at their finest so do your best to find the freshest, juiciest, sweetest peaches possible. Ditto for the tomatoes. Salt the tomatoes before adding to the salad. Not essential, but sprinkling the sliced tomatoes with a little salt helps draw out their juices. I skip this step if I'm in a hurry but otherwise, it really does make them juicier which in turn makes the salad more delicious.Rest the panzanella sala...| www.sandravalvassori.com

Note #1: There is a bit of chopping involved but once that is out of the way, the rest comes together easily and quickly. To speed things up, you can give the veggies (including the garlic) a rough chop, then pulse a few times in a food processor until finely chopped.Note #2: I prefer to use French green lentils which take the same amount of time to cook as brown rice. If you use brown lentils, or regular green lentils, add the rice first, cook for about 10 minutes, then add the lentils. If ...| www.sandravalvassori.com
