Ingredients
1 ½ lb ripe plum tomatoes (diced into 0.25 inch pieces)
1 small garlic head, or around 6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 cup of fresh and finely chopped basil leaves
1 medium sized shallot, chopped finely (around 2 tablespoons)
¼ cup of olive oil
½ teaspoon each of black pepper (freshly ground) and salt (the quantity may vary according to your taste)
1 crispy country bread or baguette, for serving
Preparation
Prepare a perfect blend of olive oil, shallot, garlic, tomatoes, and basil. Taste the mixture and add some pepper and salt as needed. Leave the recipe for 30 minutes - 4 hours at room temperature.
Now use Crostini or toasted bread pre-heated in 350°F temperature for around 10 minutes. Drain the excess liquid and pile the bruschetta on the sliced bread or Crostini with a slotted spoon.
