Instructions: If you use a mortar, crush garlic with peppers and a little salt. Add chopped tomatoes and bread previously soaked in water and squeezed. When this is well mixed, gradually add olive oil while blending. Mix in 1/2 cup ice water when oil is completely absorbed. Pass through a sieve into a deep recipient, add vinegar and 3 1/2 cups ice water, season with salt to taste, and serve with cubes of toasted bread on top or in a bowl on the side.

If you use an electric blender, mix all ingredients simultaneously except ice water and cubes of toast. Blend on low speed for only a few seconds, then strain. Add ice water, check seasoning, and serve as described above.
