Bruschetta al Pomodoro
Ingredients
- 8 slices tuscan bread
- 4 large, ripe tomatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- olive oil extra virgin
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
- handful of basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or broiler.
- Slice the tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle generously with olive oil. Tear the basil leaves and mix them into the tomatoes. Let it sit for a while to let the flavors meld together.
- Grill or broil the bread slices until they're toasted and golden.
- While the bread is still hot, rub one side of each slice with a clove of garlic. The rough texture of the bread will grate the garlic, infusing the bread with its flavor.
- Spoon the tomato mixture onto the garlic-rubbed side of the bread. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top, if desired.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a few more basil leaves.
