Ingredients
Olive oil
Black pepper
Vegetable broth
Garlic, smashed
Stale bread
Fresh, ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped
Fresh basil, chopped
Preparation
Soak the stale bread in a bowl of broth while you brown the garlic in olive oil over medium heat. Turn the heat to high and add the tomato, skin and all, to the pan. Cook over high heat, stirring slowly, and then add the basil. When the tomatoes have cooked for a while and have a thick consistency, take the bread out of the broth with your hands and squeeze and shred it into the tomatoes and basil. Serve in warm bowls and toss with additional olive oil. Sprinkle generously with freshly ground pepper.
