- When hot, add about six tomatos cut and peeled, and season with cayenne pepper and salt.
- Let the whole simmer for a short time.
- Then cut thin slices of bread and put as much in with the tomatos as will bring them to the consistency of a pudding; it must be well beaten up.

- Crumbs of bread should be strewed over the top, and a little warmed butter poured over.
