This is so simple it really doesn’t need a recipe. It’s more of an idea and it can be adjusted to your taste. A tomato, cut in half, is rubbed over the bread until it is stained pink (even toasting it is optional). It needs only a sprinkle of salt and pepper and good olive oil. If you really wanted, you could embellish it – some fresh basil, some garlic (if you don’t mind the persistence of raw garlic on your breath). Instead of salt, I like to drape anchovy fillets, dripping with oil, over mine. It’s a punchy merenda (afternoon snack) that goes well with a very cold glass of dry white wine, but it is also the perfect lunch or even dinner on those hot days when you don’t feel like cooking anything or eating much at all.
