Ingredients

6 oil-packed anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound very ripe tomatoes (about 3 medium)
2 garlic cloves, halved
6 thick slices crusty white bread (such as country bread), well toasted
Smoked sea salt

Steps:

Whisk anchovies and oil in a small bowl. Using the coarse grater disk on a food processor or the largest holes on a box grater, coarsely grate tomatoes (you should have about 1 1/2 cups tomato pulp). Rub halved garlic cloves on one side of hot toasts, then drizzle evenly with anchovy oil. Top with tomato pulp and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve warm.

FRESH TOMATO SOUP WITH CRISPY CHEESE TOAST

Fresh Tomato Soup with Crispy Cheese Toast image

We're doing a very fresh twist on the classic cream of tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. Since we're using fresh tomatoes at their peak of vine-ripened goodness, this simple soup is going to be not quite, but almost, 100% tomato.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 ½ pounds vine-ripened tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 anchovy fillet
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 slices Italian bread
¼ cup thinly sliced basil leaves
6 ounces shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese

Steps:

Remove cores from tomatoes and cut in half crosswise. Reserve until needed.
Heat olive oil and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and anchovy and cook until garlic is sizzling in the hot fat, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Carefully add the tomatoes with their juices, salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss with a spoon every few minutes until the tomatoes release their liquid and start to break down.
Once the tomatoes have softened and start to collapse, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have fallen apart and the soup resembles a coarse tomato sauce, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or a silicone liner. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Top each slice with sliced basil, and then Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is well browned and crispy around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
Remove soup from heat and pass through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Use the back of a ladle to push all the tomato mixture through. Discard the skins and seeds, which should be the only things left in the strainer.
Transfer the strained tomato soup back into the saucepan and place back over medium-low heat. Continue cooking to thicken slightly, if desired, or simply bring back to a simmer and serve immediately with the cheese toasts.

CRUNCHY TOMATO, PEPPER AND ANCHOVY TOASTS

Crunchy Tomato, Pepper and Anchovy Toasts image

There are so many anchovies to choose from at the supermarket. I always aim for the ones in a glass jar or in any packaging where I can actually see the fillets. I look for pristine, firm fillets, with their silvery skin or without, that look like an invitation to eat! For this recipe, I like the pure taste of fish simply packed in a neutral oil or olive oil and without excessive herbs or spices. Piquillo means 'little beak' in Spanish. Named for their shape, these peppers are sweet and come fire-roasted and peeled. The result? A luscious ready-to-eat red pepper with great texture. I like to put the cold, straight-from-the-fridge anchovies on the warm toast for a temperature contrast.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings (makes 12 toasts)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more olive oil for brushing
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
12 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, stemmed (and coarsely chopped, if desired)
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
20 to 24 cold anchovy fillets (about 5 ounces), plus their oil
1/2 cup drained piquillo peppers, thinly sliced crosswise into rings
1 medium-size ripe beefsteak tomato, cored and finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
One 12-inch baguette, cut on a diagonal into 1-inch-thick slices
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

Steps:

Prepare the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 4 tablespoons olive oil with the vinegar, parsley, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the oil from the jar of anchovies. Add the piquillo peppers, tomato and red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette, and marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 4 hours (refrigerated).
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare the toasts: Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a sheet pan, brush them with olive oil and toast them in the oven until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Turn the slices over and toast for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until they are dry and crunchy.
Serve: Spread the butter on the toasts, top each toast with the marinated peppers and tomatoes. Add 2 anchovy fillets on top, and drizzle with more vinaigrette. Season with flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
