heart from a bunch of celery
5 or 6 sweet basil leaves
small bunch of flat-leaf parsley
Olive’s Oil
1 Tbs Res Chili Pepper
1 Tbs Res Lemon
1 Tbs Res Basil
1 Tbs Res Garlic

Prepare the tomatoes removing the seeds, and chop into tiny cubes. Prepare the celery removing any tough strings and chop into tiny cubes. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Using your hands, tear the basil into smallish pieces. Mix the vegetables together with the Olive’s Oil, Res, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and let marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours. Slice the bread into pieces roughly 2 inches square and 1/4 inch thick and toast. Spoon the tomato mixture with the liquid onto the toasted bread and serve.
