A tantalising italian starter with amazing flavours but so simple to make.
Ingredients
- 1 Loaf Crusty Bread
- 8 medium Tomatoes (Coarsley Chopped & Drained)
- 1/2 small Red Onion (Finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Crushed)
- 6-8 Leaves Fresh Basil (Finely chopped)
- 30ml Balsamic Vinegar
- 60ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper (To Taste)
Directions
| Step 1. | |
| In a large bowl, mix the onions, tomatoes, garlic and basil using a large metal spoon, taking care not to mash or break up the tomatoes too much. | |
| Step 2. | |
| Add the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. | |
| Step 3. | |
| Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix the contents again. | |
| Step 4. | |
| Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. This will allow the flavours to soak and blend together. | |
| Step 5. | |
| Slice the baguette loaf diagonally, into thick slices and lightly toast the slices until they are light brown on both sides. | |
| Step 6. | |
| Serve the mixture on the warm slices of bread. If you prefer the mixture at room temperature, remove from the fridge half an hour before serving. | |
