  • 1/2 small red onion very finely diced (about 1/2 cup / 75 g)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro about 20 g
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley about 10 g
  • 1 small garlic clove finely grated or minced

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 0.5 g
  • 1 small baguette or 6 slices crusty country bread for serving (about 10 oz / 280 g)

Instructions

  • Dice the tomatoes and red onion as evenly and finely as you can. Chop the cilantro and parsley, mince the jalapeño, and grate or mince the garlic.
  • Add the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, parsley, garlic, jalapeño, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl.
  • Stir until the mixture is evenly combined. Taste carefully and add a small pinch more salt, pepper, vinegar, or jalapeño if needed.
  • Let the pebre stand at room temperature for 15 minutes so the flavors can mingle. Stir once more before serving.
  • Slice the baguette or country bread and serve it alongside the pebre for scooping. Toast the bread if you like.
