Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 slices slightly stale (day old) bread
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 3 ½ cups chopped Tomatoes
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper (deseeded & roughly chopped)
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper (deseeded & roughly chopped)
  • 1 Cucumber (roughly chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (peeled.)
  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Sherry Vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • Extra olive oil (tomato, bell pepper and cucumber, to serve, optional)

Instruction

  • Roughly tear up the bread, place in a small bowl with the water and leave to soak for 10-15 minutes.
  • Squeeze it well with your hands to get rid of all the water.
  • Add the squeezed bread to a food processor or blender with the tomatoes, red pepper, green pepper, cucumber and garlic cloves.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Add the olive oil, sherry vinegar and salt and stir well. Taste to check seasonings.
  • Pass through a sieve, pressing down with a spoon to get as much of the juice out as you can. Discard the pulp.
  • Pour into a bowl, cover with clingwrap and place in the fridge until needed.
  • To Serve: Serve straight from the fridge with a drizzle of olive oil and some extra finely chopped tomatoes, peppers and cucumber.
