3	large	ripe tomatoes (about 1 pound), cut into quarters
1/4	cup	minced red onion
2	tablespoons	chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1	tablespoon	chopped fresh basil
1	teaspoon	fennel seeds, toasted and cracked
1	tablespoon	extra-virgin olive oil
2	tablespoons	white wine vinegar
		Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Place a box grater over a bowl and grate the tomatoes on the large holes, catching the juice and tomato pieces in the bowl. If the seed and skin content are heavy, strain the tomatoes through a sieve.
Stir in the onion, parsley, basil, fennel seeds, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Let stand for a few minutes to let the flavors blend.
