Ingredients
▢
1
lb
(450gr) Ripe Tomatoes
(cut into small cubes)
▢
6
slices
Artisan, crusty bread
(0.5" (1.27cm) thick)
▢
bunch of basil leaves
▢
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
(good quality)
▢
1
garlic clove
(peeled)
▢
Salt
Instructions
Place tomatoes onto a bowl and add a bunch of hand-torn basil leaves.
Season with salt and drizzle generously with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Mix well and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
Drizzle bread with a bit of olive oil and toast on a hot griddle on both sides until it will have some nice char marks.
Rub each slice of bread with garlic and place on a serving plate.
Top each slice of bread with the tomato mixture, pour with the tomato juices if there are some left on the bowl and serve immediately.
Notes
Don’t cut basil with a knife, use your hands to tear the leaves into pieces. This will allow basil to remain fresh and with a nice bright color.
Rub garlic when bread is still warm from the grill, to make the aroma more outstanding.
Don’t forget to pour the remaining tomato juices over bruschetta, that’s where the flavor is!
You can also add freshly ground pepper if you want.
