BRUSCHETTA AL POMODORO – Grilled Bread with Tomatoes and Basil
This is an all time favorite of my family. It’s a quick and easy Italian recipe, great to start any meal … or as a side dish, full of flavor and very healthy.
Ingredients
4 medium tomatoes, finely diced
basil leaves
extra-virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
4 slices of thick-crusted Italian country bread
approximately 3/8 inch (1 cm) thick
(you may substitute with baguettes cut slices on diagonal)
1 clove of garlic, peeled
In a bowl mix tomato, basil, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Preheat an oven, broiler, stovetop grill or barbeque grill. Grill the bread on both sides until golden brown.
(Pay close attention to the grilling as the bread will brown very quickly and you don’t want it to burn).
Lightly rub the garlic on the surface of the bread.
Distribute uniformly (using a spoon) the tomato on the bread slices and serve warm.
Serves 4
