Bruschetta al Pomodoro - Italian Recipe

Bruschetta al Pomodoro

🌍 Italian, Tuscany/National Difficulty: ●●●○○

Bruschetta depends entirely on the quality of bread and tomatoes. Use coarse, open-crumbed country bread that will char properly, and tomatoes ripe enough to smell sweet before you cut them. The garlic goes on the hot bread while the surface is still rough from toasting — the bread acts as a grater.

Ingredients

• 4 slices country bread
• 3 ripe tomatoes, diced
• 2 cloves garlic
• 6 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, fresh basil

Method

1. Grilling — Grill bread until charred.
2. Rubbing — Rub hot bread with cut garlic clove.
3. Tossing — Toss tomatoes with oil, salt, torn basil.
4. Topping — Top bread with tomato mixture. Serve immediately.
