Bruschetta

Ingredients

  • 1 thick slice Italian or French bread
  • 1/2 garlic clove
  • 1/2 small tomato
  • Extra-virgin olive oil (the best you can afford)

Instructions

Toast the bread on a grill (this is the most authentic way) or in a broiler. Rub the surface of the bread thoroughly with the garlic clove. Take the tomato and rub the open side into the bread. Finally drizzle a little (or a lot, if you want) olive oil on the, by this time, gooey slice of bread. Topping 2 roma tomatoes, finely diced 1-2 large cloves of garlic, minced 4-5 leaves of fresh basil, finely chopped Extra-virgin olive oil freshly ground black pepper salt to taste Combine the first three ingredients in a non-reactive bowl. Add enough olive oil to coat everything, about 2 tbs. (you have to use your own judgement here) Add the pepper and salt to taste. Leave sit for an hour to develop the flavors. Toast slices of bread over low coals. Spoon some of the topping on each slice and enjoy. Should make about 6 slices, depending on how much topping you put on each slice.
