Bruschetta


Bruschetta (for 4 people)

Ingredients
  • 1 loaf ciabatta, normal bread or baguette (something that can be grilled and on which bruschetta mix can be added)
  • 500 gms tomatoes – pick fresh, hard, red ones.  Quality of bruschetta depends on quality of tomatoes
  • 4 spoons shredded/chopped black olives
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Plenty of shredded fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking
  • Deseed tomatoes carefully and chop fine (budget about 40 minutes to do this!)
  • Heat olive oil (about 2 table spoons) and add garlic – until garlic is lightly brown (don’t burn garlic). This is the olive oil/garlic mix that will be spread on the grilled bread. So use good amount of olive oil to not run out of it later. Put it on the side
  • Mix tomatoes, 1 table spoon olive oil, basil and salt/pepper, olives in a mixing bowl and mix well. Put in the fridge to cool for a while
  • When ready to serve, spread olive oil on the baking tray and put the bread pieces to grill. Grill for about 15-20 minutes. Keep checking to ensure the bread doesn’t burn
  • Spread the olive oil/garlic mix on the bread, and lop a spoonful of bruschetta mix on the bread
