Get out your favorite baguette or French loaf, slice on the bias and toast to how you like it. Or do as I do - buy the bottoms ready made:
Cara's easy-peasy Bruschetta topping:
No long list of ingredients here, just these.
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
1/4 finely diced salad onion (adding more or less to mix depending on how much or how little you like it)
A clove of garlic, minced or pushed through a press
Salt and pepper to taste
Extra-virgin olive oil to taste (around a tablespoon is a good amount I've found)
Mix all the ingredients together and stash in the fridge to cool. I like it this way. The contrast of hot bread and the topping is perfect: and cooling the mix also helps meld the flavors. Enjoy! This is the one I made today. As you can see they are not huge - and this one is sitting on my little 6 1/2 inch diameter bandit plate. Bad news is, I fit in two over about a half hour. Ack!
Chow for now,
Cara xxxxx

ReplyDeleteYumm!! I want to try it.
ReplyDelete(I'm afraid of the bread though!)
I LOVE these...but I cant eat them when I am restricted! :( waaaaa....but since I am getting looser and need a baby fill, I might try!
ReplyDeleteYumminess!!!
ReplyDeleteI totality LOVE brushetta! I am a huge fan of fresh salsa, I make it all the time. Making brushetta to me is like making an Italian salsa! I just love the fresh taste of the simple ingredients. <3
ReplyDeleteLooks great. Bruschetta is one of the best food in the world. Your recipe has been added to my Recipe link page (http://rollercoasterdieting.blogspot.com/p/food-tracking.html).
ReplyDeleteBut you need to add the fresh Basil-my favourite herb.
that looks yummy--I can't wait for summer so I can pull the tomatoes, onion and basil from my garden. I usually add some cubed buffalo mozzerella in the mix as well. Now I'm drooling...but its only 9:30 in the morning and I have to wait for such a challenging food until late afternoon....droolllll drippppp slurp.
ReplyDeleteBy the way..I looked at he big picture of your calla lilies as I downloaded them for my page. That picture is sooo beautiful big! Your lilies to much better than mine do here and the colors on the leaves was sooo beautiful.
Yummy!
ReplyDeleteI miss bread :(

ReplyDeleteYUM!! Thanks for posting this!! I love me some Bruschetta... bread has to be really really toasted in order for it to stay down lately unfortunately!!
ReplyDeleteOh yum...not sure if I could do the bread though. I have never seen them packaged like that either
ReplyDeleteSara and I are sitting in Nebraska watching the TV and wondering about your safety in Perth and the storms. Hope you are OK? Sylvia
