INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound plum tomatoes (about 4 to 5 large), or another variety of ripe tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tsp red wine vinegar
• 8 large basil leaves
• Grilled or toasted crusty bread, for serving

DIRECTIONS

• Core and chop the tomatoes, then transfer to a colander over a bowl or in the sink. Add the salt and gently stir. Let drain for up to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic over low heat until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn’t brown. Set aside to cool. Stir in the two vinegars.
• Roll the basil leaves up and thinly slice crosswise.
• When the oil is cool and the tomatoes are well drained, combine the tomatoes, garlic oil and basil in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt, to taste. Spoon over toasted bread.
