Tomato Bruschetta Recipe:
A few years ago while I was on holiday in Italy that I
first tasted Tomato Bruschettas and they were fab. We were
staying in the hills in Tuscany and there was this little
town that we used to visit each evening. We found a little
restaurant with a balcony that looked over the Italian
countryside. So as soon as I got back to the UK I decided I
would have to have a go and create my own.
Tomato Bruschettas make a great starter to an Italian meal,
and I have received many compliments from my friends and
family. They are also a wonderful snack that you can make
at any time, and very quick and easy to prepare.
What you will need for your ingredients:
* Ciabatta or French baton
* Virgin olive oil
* A Garlic clove
* Ripe Tomatoes
* Fresh Basil/oregano
* Salt and Pepper
What will make these Bruschettas even better is if you take
the time to grow your own tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes are
brilliant particularly if you go and pick them from your
own garden. They are so fresh and the taste is really
delicious especially if you compare them to the ones you
buy from the Supermarket.
Make a cross cut with a sharp knife at the top of the
tomatoes. Then place each of the tomatoes in a bowl of
boiling water and leave them for just a minute before
removing them. You will then need to remove the skins.
Chop them roughly and leave them to cool to one side. At
this point you can add different flavourings. I suggest
Basil or Oregano to the mixture. I am a great believer in
growing my own herbs as well. I use an old beer barrel cut
in half that I got from the local garden centre. Like the
tomatoes, the tastes of home grown herbs are so much
stronger than from the shop. I find I only need half the
amount of herbs that I would normally need to use.
Take your Ciabatta or French baton and toast each slice
under the grill or on a griddle if you fancy a stripy
effect. You then need to brush your toasted Ciabatta or
baton with virgin olive oil and rub your cut garlic over
the surface of the toast. Place your tomato mixture on the
Ciabatta or baton and season as appropriate.
I hope you enjoy this delicious simple and easy to prepare
snack or starter.
