Ingredients

  • 500 g plum tomatoes
  • thyme
  • parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 12 leaves basil
  • 7 extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 chilli
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • salt
  • pepper

Method

Toast the bread. Chop up a small bunch of parsley, a sprig of thyme and a little chilli. Chop the tomatoes into small cubes and add them to the herbs.

Add a smashed, peeled garlic cube, the basil leaves ripped up, a little salt and pepper and 5 tbsp of olive oil. You can leave this mixture for 20-30 minutes to infuse if you like.

When you are ready to serve, lay about 8 slices of the toasted sourdough bread on a plate. Rub each slide with the remaining garlic, pour over the tomato mixture and top with a drizzle of oil.
