This recipe is deliberately simple because the ingredients should do most of the work. Look for tomatoes that feel heavy for their size, bread with enough structure to hold juice, and an olive oil that smells fresh rather than flat. ## Ingredients - Ripe tomatoes from a nearby market stall. - Toasted country bread or sourdough. - Local olive oil, sea salt, and a small garlic clove. ## Method Rub the toast lightly with garlic, grate or crush the tomato over the surface, add salt, and finish with olive oil. Eat it while the bread is still warm and the tomato is bright.
