Bruschetta
Italian bread sliced 1/2-inch thick peeled garlic cloves virgin olive oil (I like green Sicilian) fresh ripe tomatoes,seeded and chopped small fresh basil, coarsely chopped coarse salt or sea salt freshly ground black pepper
Either toast the bread over an open fire until the outside is golden, but the inside is still soft; or place bread on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 450F oven, about 4 minutes on each side. Rub with the raw garlic and drizzle on the olive oil. Add the tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. (Of course, you don't have to use the tomatoes. You can also grate some parmesan on the bread while its still hot. |
