Editor's note:Use this recipe along with theGazpacho.

(This recipe is for fried croutons, but if you prefer to toast the croutons, preheat the oven to 375°F. Spread the croutons out on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes)

Ingredients

For 1 1/2 lb

3 slices from a white country-style loaf
2 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
  1. Cut the bread into 1/2-inch squares. Put a deep pan over medium heat, then add the oil. When the oil is hot, fry in the cubes in batches for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Lift the croutons out of the oil with a slotted spoon. Transfer onto paper towels, and let drain. Serve warm or cold.
