- 4 cups fresh tomatoes diced into ½” pieces (1-½ lbs.; about 5 medium tomatoes)
- ¾ cup slivered red onion
- 2 tsp. of minced garlic
- ½ cup water
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. each ground black pepper, salt and sugar
- ½ cup shredded fresh basil
- 6 cups day-old dense, crusty bread cut or torn into 1” cubes (about ½ lb.)
- ⅛ cup aged balsamic vinegar (or balsamic glaze)
Steps
