Ingredients: red tomatoes, basil, chives, salt, chilli pepper, black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, Tuscan bread (alternatively, sandwich bread).

3. Finely chop up the basil, chives, garlic and, if you like, the chilli pepper (you may also add other herbs).
4. Add the minced herbs to the tomatoes and mix, after adding salt, extra virgin olive oil and, if you like, black pepper.
