Nonna Ciana’s Tuscan Tomato Bruschetta
Ingredients
4 slices crusty bread, baguette or ciabatta work well
1 clove garlic cut in half
8 cherry tomatoes (or 2 medium), diced
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
6-8 basil leaves (or in winter a pinch of dried oregano) torn, by pinching bits off the leaves with your finger nails (avoids bruising and browning)
A good pinch of salt
Preparation
1
Place the tomatoes, basil and salt into a bowl and mix
2
Toast both sides of the bread in a dry frying pan over a medium heat, then gently rub one side of the toast with the cut garlic
3
Drain off some of the excess juice from the tomato mixture, then stir through the extra virgin olive oil
4
Equally spoon the tomatoes onto the garlic side of the toast and garnish with another basil leaf. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil if desired
