Ingredients
Method
- Heat oven to 190°C/375°F. Toss bread with 1 tbsp oil and bake for 10–15 minutes until crisp at the edges.
- Mix tomatoes, onion, vinegar, salt and remaining oil in a bowl. Stand for 10 minutes to release tomato juices.
- Add warm bread and basil, toss and serve after 5 minutes of soaking.
A little note
Use bread that is stale but not moldy; toasting cannot make spoiled bread safe.
Cooking tips
- Toast bread until the edges are crisp so it can absorb tomato juices without immediately falling apart.
- Give tomatoes time to release their juices before adding bread, then serve after the short soak in the method.
