300g of ripe tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic
1 green pepper
100 ml of extra virgin olive oil
20 ml of white wine vineger
200g of crountry style bread, at least 1 day old
Sea salt
Dried Oreganos
Cold water
Ice cubes
Start by peeling the tomatoes, so make a cross cut on the bottom and put them in a heat proof bowl. Poor some boiling water over the tomatoes, so it covers them completely and allow them to sit for about 2 minutes. Drain the water and peel the skin of the tomatoes, then cut them in half and remove the seeds. Chop the tomatoes finely.
Next you need to crush the garlic with some salt on a pestle and mortar. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped tomato and step for a bit more. Move this mixture into a larger bowl.
Now add a bit of bread that you have mashed and broken down with your hands. Give it a mix and add a small amount of cold water.
To finish this soup add the reaming chopped tomatoes, the chopped pepper, the broken up bread and the olive oil. Season with the vinegar, salt and oregano.
At this point your soup must be a bit on the thick side so it’s up to you to add a bit of cold water until it reaches the desirable consistency. Test for seasoning and if it’s nice and hot outside add some ice cubes as well.
Serve by itself or on the side of fried fish.
