1 ; thick slices
2 tsp tomato puree
1 tsp sweet paprika
2 tbsp red wine vinegar

Dust the tomato slices lightly with the sugar. Toast the bread
slices. In a bowl mix together the tomato puree, paprika, garlic and
vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. Whisk in the Sun-Dried Tomato Oil,
pouring in a thin drizzle. To serve, place the pepper strips and a
tomato slice on each bread slice. Top each with a tablespoon of the
puree mixture.
