ingredients

TOMATO SOUP
1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, crushed
800 g of CIRIO Chopped Tomatoes
70 ml of vincotto
750 ml of boiling water
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper



PESTO
50 g of pine nuts, toasted and cooled
75 g of basil, leaves only
50 g of Parmesan, grated
2 garlic cloves, crushed
150 ml of extra virgin olive oil

MOZZARELLA TOAST
4 slices of baguette
4 slices of buffalo mozzarella

Preparation
  1. Place a medium saucepan over a low heat and add the oil. Add the garlic and cook for a minute or so until slightly golden.
  2. Add the tomatoes and vincotto and increase the heat to medium. Cook until the tomatoes start to simmer (around 3 minutes) then add the water and a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
  3. Simmer briskly for 15-20 minutes or until the liquid has reduced slightly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before blending until smooth with a hand blender.
  4. While the soup is cooking, make the pesto by placing all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse together until blended, but with some texture. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  5. Preheat a grill to medium and lightly toast the slices of baguette on one side. Flip over and add the mozzarella slices. Cook for a couple of minutes or until the cheese is golden.
  6. Meanwhile, place the pan of soup back over a medium heat to warm though.
  7. To serve, divide the hot soup between four bowls, top with the mozzarella toasts and drizzle with pesto.
