My book, " Tuscan cooking,London style".
I will offer 1 recipe to my friends on this forum.
Bruschetta,
1 baguette
300grams of fresh baby tomatoes
1 or 2 cloves of garlic,
Olive oil
Basil "fresh" or dried
or, Origano
salt to finish
5 minutes to prepare
So pre heat your oven to 180, when hot enough, slice your bread Thickly.
Put on a baking tray in the middle of the oven.
I do not leave mine in the oven for more than 6/7 minutes.They dont have to be brown just crispy. while they are in the oven, chop your tomatoes "how ever you wish"i cut mine into small pieces keeping the juice.Then add your garlic.
Again, please your self how much you use, and the smaller you chop and slice it "the better it will tast".
Chop your Basil "if fresh" or use dried origano, they are both as fantastic as each other.
Mix together in a bowl and while you have been doing this the bread will be ready! So my friends, so simple and quick.
Add a desert spoon of the tomatoes directly on to the hot bread, drizzle a generous amount of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt Yum!
"Tips"
This is a great starter. This is a great plate to offer your friends when they come around for a glass of wine! A great plate to serve at a bbq.
Last but not least add Mozzarella "Fresh"
If you really want to push the boat out..........
I hope some one will enjoy! ! !
