Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Cut 4 slices of sourdough, place on a baking tray and drizzle with 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Grill for 2-3 mins until browned, then flip and repeat until lightly browned and crisp (making sure they don’t catch). Rub all over with a large halved garlic clove and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, wash and quarter the tomatoes. Put in a large mixing bowl; season with salt. Stir in olive oil, red wine vinegar and the basil. Divide the mixture between the toasts, spooning over any juices, then season with black pepper and scatter with extra basil leaves to serve.
