I am hanging on to the last days of summer and using up all of the fresh tomatoes and basil to make this. Italian bruschetta (pronounced "brusketta") is a wonderful way to capture the flavors of ripe summer tomatoes, fresh garden basil, and garlic.
I love it on toasted french bread or baguette
I don't really have a recipe but I will try to give you what I think use.
8-10 fresh tomatoes seeds removed and chopped ( any kind works)
10 basil leaves chopped
5 cloves of garlic chopped finely(I often use much more)
1/2 of a purple onion chopped
2 tbls extra virgin olive oil (aprox)
1tbls balsamic vinegar
sea salt to taste
Mix all ingredients. Set aside. Toast slices of French bread or baguette. Serve tomato mixture, room temperature in bowl. Surround with bread slices. Can also set up a bit ahead of time, but it will get soggy quickly.

Wow this looks yummy!!! I am going to try it.
ReplyDeleteOh yum yum!!! I ate up our last tomato from my parents' garden yesterday as part of BLT. It's such a simple dish but so good with fresh summer tomato slices. I made some bruschetta with from that last batch a little bit ago and it's so yummy! Now you're making me want more and I'll have to see if I can snag some of the last harvest at tomorrow's farmers market! Thanks for adding your office supply makeover to A Crafty Soiree! Hope to see you next week too!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! My sister makes this all of the time and now I am hungry and might have to go to the store to buy the stuff to make it!
ReplyDeleteOne of favorite easy things to make ever. I think I'll make some today. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteWe just made this the other day when we had a dinner party...it was gone in five minutes and we had a ton of it. Thanks for your opinion Debbie on my friends Mantel.
ReplyDeleteYum, I just saw an old episode of Martha Stewart where she made something similar. She rubbed the toasted bread with fresh cut garlic before adding the topping. That looks so good.
