Crostini With Tomatoes

• 1kg ripe tomatoes
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled: 2 finely chopped, 1 cut in half
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 ciabatta loaf, cut diagonally into 1cm thick slices
• 24 fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces

1. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces, put into a bowl with the chopped garlic and season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Add the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Toss together, cover with clingfilm and marinate for a few hours, stirring occasionally.
2. Grill the ciabatta slices on each side. Rub one side only with the cut garlic clove and drizzle with olive oil. Add the basil to the tomatoes and toss well. Check the seasoning and spoon some of the tomato mixture on to each crostino.
