Bruschetta

This delicious recipe comes from my Auntie Dawn. It is perfect for this time of year when locally grown tomatoes are readily available.

Ingredients:

2 cups finely chopped Roma tomatoes (or other variety)

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup chopped basil (or 1 tsp. dry)

1/4 cup parsley

1/4 cup olive oil

1 Tb. balsamic vinegar

1/4 tsp. salt

freshly ground pepper, to taste

1 baguette, sliced

parmesan cheese (optional)

Mix ingredients together and let stand for 20 minutes 

 

There are several options here: Toast baguette slices under broiler on 1 side; turn over; spoon tomato mixture onto each slice. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and broil 6 inches from heat, until cheese starts to brown.
Or
You can put the cheese onto the bread and toast before adding the bruschetta.
Or
Skip toasting the bread altogether

 

Get ready for a tasty treat!
