1/3 cup finely chopped fresh basil

Bring large pot of water to a boil. Peel, seed and dice tomatoes, saving juice.

often, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with reserved juice and simmer 10 minutes. Add

red peppers, olives and capers, and simmer 15 minutes more. Add basil during

last 5 minutes of cooking.
