Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ loaf dry bread
  • 750 ml puréed tomato
  • 1–2 garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped
  • Oil
  • 1 handful of well-ripped basil leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Dip the bread in water for a short time, so that you can crush it with your hands. It should not be soaked.
  2. Fry the garlic in a large frying pan with oil until it begins to change color.
  3. Add the tomato purée and salt, and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
  4. Add pieces of bread in, none smaller than a walnut, after wringing and continue to mix it with the tomato, until it has become completely red.
  5. At this point the tomato should still have a fresh aroma.
  6. Remove from heat and serve hot in a bowl, seasoned with a drizzle of olive oil, pepper and a basil leaf.
