Method

 
Cut larger tomatoes into chunks and quarter or halve smaller ones. Remove half the tomatoes and set aside. Squash remaining tomatoes lightly with your fingers to release some juices.

Cut peppers into eight pieces and toss in a glug of oil.  Chargrill until lightly cooked and add to tomatoes.

Add remaining tomatoes, along with chilli, capers and olives to squashed tomatoes.

Whisk together vinegar, garlic, and 1/3 cup (80ml) oil and add to salad.

Tear ciabatta into large chunks and toss though salad.

Season well.

Allow to stand for 30 minutes for bread to soak up juices.

Serve salad topped with torn mozzarella and basil.
