Directions

1
Cut the baguette into about 16 very thin slices. Peel garlic and chop very finely. Melt butter and add about half of the garlic. Put slices of bread next to each other on a baking tray. Sprinkle evenly with garlic butter.
2
Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven and baking tray.
3
Wash, clean and finely dice the tomatoes. Wash, clean and finely dice the cucumber. Halve, clean, wash and finely dice peppers. Peel and finely dice onions. Mix tomatoes, cucumber, paprika, about half of the onions and the remaining garlic in a bowl.
4
Take off just under 1/4 of the vegetable mixture and set aside. Dice bread and add to the remaining vegetable mixture.
5
Add vinegar, 5 tablespoons of oil and 150 ml of water and puree everything finely with a blender. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar. Stir in the vegetables that have been set aside. Chill for about 30 minutes.
6
Wash the thyme, shake dry and, except for something to garnish, pluck leaves from the stalks. Wash basil, shake dry, pluck leaves from stalks and chop except for a little to garnish.
7
Mix the remaining onions, herbs and 2 tablespoons of oil.
