Our tip

Alternatively, sherry can be used to deglaze instead of vinegar.

Wash the tomatoes and grate coarsely on a grater. Drain the tomato puree over a sieve. Then season with salt and pepper. Toast the white bread in a toaster, on a grill pan, in the oven or on a contact grill. Peel the garlic clove and rub the bread with it. Drizzle with olive oil. Spread the warm bread with the tomato puree, drizzle again with a little olive oil and serve immediately.

Place the potatoes in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning once after 20 minutes.

While the potatoes are in the oven, prepare the tomato sauce. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion. Then add the garlic and tomato purée and fry briefly. Add the chopped tomatoes and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika powder and chili flakes. Add the white wine vinegar and raw cane sugar and mix well. Simmer for 20 minutes over a low heat with the lid on. Pour the tomato sauce into a small bowl.
