Ingredients

Instructions

Roughly chop the bread, remove the skin from the garlic and mash it whole so that the juice comes out. Peel the tomatoes and roughly chop the basil.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, roast the garlic in it and remove it again.
Reduce the heat and add the tomatoes. Add the basil to the tomato sauce, season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes, then add the bread and stir until it has absorbed as much sauce as possible.
If the bread does not absorb any more sauce, gradually add the broth until it covers the bread (maybe not add all of the broth as the tomatoes also give off liquid). Simmer over medium heat and stir frequently until the bread dissolves completely.
The porridge is then served warm or cold as a starter. Very tasty with wine and bread!

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
