Ingredients

  • 2 pounds very ripe tomatoes, quartered, seeded, and chopped
  • half English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
  • half red pepper, cored and diced
  • half small onion
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 ounce fresh brown breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, more to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable stock or tomato juice
  • Leaves from 2 thyme sprigs
  • 16 leaves basil
  • 1 pinch Salt and pepper
  • pinch cayenne pepper, to taste
  • Honey, to taste (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons tiny butter-fried croutons (optional)

Directions

  1. Mix the tomatoes, cucumber, red pepper, onion, garlic, and breadcrumbs. Add the vinegar, stock, thyme and 12 of the basil leaves. Marinate 12 hours in a covered glass bowl in the fridge.
