Ingredients
1 lb plum tomatoes
1 tsp salt
5 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 large basil leaves
some pepper
4 slices toasted bread
Cookware
- 1 colander
- 1 bowl
- 1 small saucepan
Instructions
Step 1
Core and chop the plum tomatoes, then transfer colander over a bowl or in the sink. Add the salt and gently stir. Let drain for up to 2 hours.
Step 2
Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic, minced over low heat until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
Roll the basil leaves up and thinly slice crosswise.
Step 4
When the oil is cool and the tomatoes are well drained, combine the tomatoes, garlic oil and basil in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon over toasted bread.
