Tomato Bruschetta
Serves 4 - 6
Preparation time: 10 minutes (plus 30 minutes marinating)
French bread or Ciabatta loaf
2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
8 ripe plum or vine-ripened tomatoes, diced
8 tbsp Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil (for marinating) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 8-10 basil leaves
Method:
- Mix the diced tomatoes with the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper, set aside for 30 minutes.
- Toast (or grill on barbecue) 12 thick slices of bread from the ciabatta loaf or french stick.
- Rub with garlic while still hot then spoon on the tomatoes. Scatter basil leaves on top.
Variations & tips:
While preparing I will give ideas of other toppings such as pan-fried wild mushrooms/oyster mushrooms with garlic
and parsley, or pan-fried king prawns with chilli, shallots, fresh parsley and olive oil.
