So, one red pepper, one tomato, half a red onion, one fresh garlic clove (these were still new, unpapery, crisp), a few slices of baguette, torn up; red wine vinegar, salt, sugar, pepper, chiles to taste. Parsley.
Method: Donder the pepper. That's a South African expression. In other words, chop the bleep out of it. Take it easy on the tomato. Donder the onion, too. Put in a bowl with the torn-up bread, shake over a couple of tablespoons of vinegar, add salt, sugar and pepper to taste, and mix. Add the chopped fresh chile. Then the parsley. Taste all the way. You need spicy/burny but balanced by salty/sweet. Slosh over a little EV olive oil. Think of it as solid gazpacho...
It's really good for you.
