Total time: 15 min
Yield: 4
Ingredients: 4 big fresh tomatoes diced; 3 cloves of garlic crushed; 1/2 onion finely diced; A bunch (about half a handful) of fresh coriander leaves; 1 tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil; The ingredients can of course be altered to suit different tastes. I personally adore garlic - so it's 3 cloves for me... but others may prefer a mere hint of the stuff. Likewise fresh coriander is pungent and peppery - and can be overwhelming for those unaccustomed to it's flavour. Try adding it last to test the amount that suits best.

Directions

Strip the coriander leaves from their stems, chop them up and add to bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil on top and stir it through.

Serve slightly chilled, after a little time in fridge to allow flavours to blend.

Makes enough for 4 people.

Plus, this recipe is also great heated and served on crusty bread or pasta.

Please note that after a day in the fridge the juices from the tomatoes make it waterier and less 'chunky', but the flavours are more profound.
