Think of this as a mashup of panzanella, or Italian bread salad, and Spanish migas, which combines toasted stale bread and chorizo. Ripe, in-season tomatoes are best, but in non-summer months, Campari (also called cocktail) tomatoes are a good alternative, as they tend to be juicy and sweet year round. (Camparis tend to be smaller, so simply cut them into 1-inch wedges; no need to halve the wedges crosswise.) Tossing the prepped tomatoes with a little salt and sugar slightly softens them while drawing out some of their juices, which help soften and flavor the bread. Sourdough works especially well, but any loaf with a chewy, sturdy crumb does nicely.

Tip

Don’t mistake fresh Mexican-style chorizo for smoky, garlicky, dry-cured Spanish chorizo. You want the latter. And after removing the sausage from the pan, don’t discard the red fat; it’s used for toasting the bread.

Tomato Chorizo Salad
Loved it. We thought you could double the tomatoes and it would still be great. Nice recipe when tomatoes are fresh and in season.
