Panzanella Of Onions And Anchovies

Preparation:

Preparation: Soak the slices of toasted bread or biscuits in water for at least half an hour. Remove the bones from the anchovies (4 per person) and cut them into small pieces. Cut the onions into thin slices after leaving them for half an hour in cold water to dampen their smell. In a salad bowl arrange the bread after having squeezed it, the onion, the pieces of anchovy and a handful of chopped basil leaves. Season with plenty of oil and pepper to taste. Check the salt, but it shouldn't be necessary.
