Method

  1. Score tomatoes1 in a cross, scald with boiling water for 1 minute, peel, and chop into 2 cm chunks. Peel cucumber2: chop half into small cubes for garnish, dice the rest roughly.

  2. Seed the bell3 pepper, peel and chop the onion4 and garlic5 roughly.

  3. Soak half the bread in 2 tablespoons of water for 5 minutes. Cut the remaining bread into cubes and toast in a dry pan for 3 minutes until crisp.

  4. Blend tomatoes1, bell3 pepper, onion4, garlic5, roughly diced cucumber2, and soaked bread with olive oil, vinegar, and salt for 2–3 minutes until smooth.

  5. Transfer to a bowl and chill in the fridge for 60 minutes; stir before serving and adjust salt if needed.

  6. Ladle into bowls, top with cucumber2 cubes and croutons.

Tips

Why it works
Pour boiling water over tomatoes to loosen skins for faster, cleaner peeling. Skip this and you’ll struggle to remove tough patches.
Substitutions
Use 100g zucchini instead of bell pepper for a milder taste. Replace vinegar with 5ml lemon juice for a sharper tang.
Common mistakes
Overblending turns it pasty. Stop when smooth but still slightly textured. It’ll thicken more as it chills.
Storing and reheating
Keeps 3 days in the fridge. Reheat by stirring in 10g olive oil and 10ml water, then blending briefly. It’s best cold.
Serve with
Pair with a slice of crusty bread and a simple green salad for a light summer lunch.
