Directions:

In a food processor, place half of the tomatoes, the garlic, bell pepper, bread, vinegar, salt, cumin and sugar. Blend until no large pieces remain. With the motor running, add the remaining tomatoes, and when well processed, gradually add the oil. Beat until as smooth as possible. Chill for several hours or overnight.

Taste for salt and vinegar and adjust if necessary. If desired, thin with a little ice water. Serve in small glasses (2 oz size) as a drink. If desired, garnish with a sprinkling of finely minced red bell pepper.

Accompany with finger croutons for dunking.

Finger Croutons: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice bread 3/4 -inch thick. Brush both sides with olive oil and cut into 3/4 -inch wide strips. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt if desired. Bake until crisped and golden, about 10 to 15 minutes per side.
