Method
1.Slice the bread, put in a bowl and cover with 100ml water to soak.
2.Cut a small cross on top of each tomato with a knife, then drop in a bowl of boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and remove the skins.
3.In large jug or blender, put the peeled tomatoes, chopped vegetables and garlic. Add the soaked bread, olive oil and sherry. Whiz it all up until it’s very smooth.
4.Taste and add salt and pepper, and sugar too if you think it needs sweetening up. Get the perfect balance of acid, freshness and salt. Chill well before serving.
5.Serve drizzled with olive oil and garnished with herbs, red capsicum and ham.
Soft herbs refer to those with tender stems. Think basil, coriander, parsley, dill, tarragon, fennel fronds etc.
