Ingredients

How to make it

  • Drizzle olive oil on bread slices and rub with slices of garlic. Toast bread in pan until slices are golden. Allow to cool and slice bread into cubes.
  • Place cherries, peppers, cucumber, toasted bread, garlic, olive oil, tomato juice, and vinegar in a large bowl, stir, and allow to develop flavor at room temperature for at least 2-4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Purée cherry mixture until smooth in a blender, then strain through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing with a wooden spoon to make certain as much of the solids as possible pass through. Discard the remaining solids.
  • Add a dash of Tabasco to taste, along with a pinch of salt and some fresh black pepper.
  • To serve, top with a few croutons and some thinly sliced basil (chiffonade).
  • Croutons: Brush two slices French bread liberally with olive oil, rub each slice with some garlic, and cut the bread into cubes. Sprinkle the cubes with a little salt and pepper and toast in a hot sauté pan with few sprigs of fresh thyme until the croutons are golden and crisp. Drain on a paper towel.
