Ingredients
- 2 lb tomatoes ripe
- ½ large red bell pepper
- 1 cucumber
- 1 shallot
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup basil loosely packed, leaves
- 1 tbsp oregano fresh
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cups olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper ground
To garnish (optional):
- salt flaky
- olive oil pungent
- basil finely sliced
- cherry tomato sliced
- pine nut toasted
- black pepper coarse ground
Instructions
- Peel and remove seeds from cucumber. Dice peeled cucumber, bell pepper, tomato, and shallot. Peel and crush garlic. Thinly slice basil.
- In a food processor or blender, combine prepared bell pepper, cucumber, shallot, garlic, basil, and oregano. Process on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until a coarse paste forms.
- Add diced tomatoes, vinegar, and lemon juice. Process on high for 3-4 minutes until mostly smooth. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to do this in batches.
- Running the processor or blender on medium to low, add olive oil. Process for an additional minute to emulsify the oil.
- Pour into a bowl or large container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors settle.
- Serve cold in small bowls or as appetizer “shooters” in small glasses. Garnish as desired with a drizzle of olive oil and any of the other options. This is a great place to use a flavored olive oil.
- Keeps in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
