Description
Ingredients
- 1.0 pound vine tomatoes (don’t use beefsteak tomatoes, please)
- 2.0 medium-size cucumbers
- 1.0 fresh green bell pepper
- 1.0 small red onion

- A few generous glugs of olive oil (about a cup)
- 2.0 tablespoons red wine or sherry vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Soak the bread in water for five or ten minutes, then squeeze it out with your fist till it’s a soggy solid.
- Chop up all the vegetables and the garlic. De-seed the cucumbers and tomatoes unless you like tomato seeds getting stuck in your teeth.
- Put all of the above in your blender or food processor.
- Add the liquid ingredients and spices.
- Pulse until it turns a pale red, reminiscent of vodka sauce.
- Chill till it feels cold to your finger.
- Eat when it’s too hot to eat anything else.
