Receta de bruschetta

Ingredientes

• 4-5 medium-sized Roma tomatoes (finely diced)
• 1/4 cup fresh basil (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp ground pepper
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
• 1 loaf of French bread (I used homemade GF baguette)

Preparación

1. 1

   Watch the video for easy visual instructions.

2. 2

   Cut the tomatoes into halves and remove most of the seeds. Finely dice the tomatoes and add them to a mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Also, finely chop the basil and the garlic and add both to the tomatoes along with the balsamic vinegar, sea salt, ground pepper, and about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.

4. 4

   Stir with a spoon and leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to 60 minutes is fine). After marinating, taste the tomato mixture and adjust any of the flavors as needed; more garlic, balsamic, salt, pepper, etc. Then drain off the excess marinade (you can use it for your next salad).

5. 5

   Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

6. 6

   Slice the bread (you can use French bread or Ciabatta) and brush each slice with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. I used homemade Gluten-Free French Bread.

7. 7

   Transfer the bread to the prepared baking tray and toast it in the oven for about 10-15 min until golden brown, turning halfway through. I recommend rubbing each toasted baguette slice with a halved garlic clove for an even yummier result!

8. 8

   Arrange the toasted bread on a plate or wooden board with the bowl of the bruschetta mixture on the side. Or top each slice with some tomato mixture and serve immediately. Enjoy!
