A fresh summer starter for your Italian meal.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 2 large ripe tomatoes, diced
• 2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
• 8 basil leaves, ripped
• extra virgin olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 300 g Tuscan-style bread

Procedure

Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the seeds then dice. Mix the tomatoes, basil leaves, oil and salt and pepper together in a bowl. Set aside for at least 15 minutes. Toast the bread and rub one side of it with the garlic cloves. Spoon the tomato mixture onto the bread and serve.
