Serves: 1
Prep: 15 Mins
Cooking Time: N/A
Ready In: 15 Mins
- 2 Salad Tomatoes
- 2 Slices Bread
Optional:
- 1 Clove Garlic
- Basil Leaves
- Salt
- Olive Oil
- Place a sieve over a large bowl. Grate the tomato into the sieve and discard the skin leftover. Allow the juice to drain for about 5-10 minutes (give it a bit of a nudge occasionally to help with this). At this stage you may want to add a little salt, but if you are on a low salt diet or serving small kids then skip this step.
- Meanwhile, toast your bread, and run the garlic over the toast- it's surprising how strong this can be so if you're not a fan of garlic then again this is an optional step or do it lightly!
- Top the toast with your tomato pulp and sprinkle over the basil leaves if you are having them, you could also drizzle a little olive oil over at this point too.
