Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare sun-dried tomatoes. It's best to use tomatoes of different varieties and sizes for a more diverse flavor.

Step 2

Dry the skin removed from the tomatoes in a dehydrator or in the oven at a low temperature. Then, grind it in a mortar or coffee grinder into a powder.

Step 3

Prepare a jelly from the inner part of the tomatoes. You can squeeze fresh tomato juice from the remaining tomato fillets.

Step 4

Prepare tomato snow from freshly squeezed tomato juice.

Step 5

Prepare a jam made from olive oil. It can be used as a dressing for salads or enjoyed on its own, and should be stored in a closed container in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Cut the bread into cubes about 2 cm on each side. Toast in an oven preheated to 320°F until golden brown. Crumble a few of the croutons by hand.

Step 7

Prepare a tomato sauce with garlic and basil.

Step 8

Heat the tomato sauce until it comes to a boil, then add the croutons. Stir constantly to soak them in the sauce until they are completely soft. You can check their softness by inserting a skewer or toothpick into them.

Step 9

Spread the butter marmalade on a plate, sprinkle it with bread crumbs, arrange the tomatoes seasoned with salt and oil, sun-dried tomatoes, a toast soaked in tomato sauce, tomato jelly, powdered skin, and basil leaves.
