Bruschetta

  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
7-8 medium sized tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped2 garlic cloves, minced1/2 cup chopped scallions6 basil leaves, minced1 tbsp olive oil1 tsp balsamic (or red wine) vinegarSalt and Pepper to taste
Directions
To make peeling the tomatoes easier, follow this technique: With a knife slit a small "x" at the base of each tomato. Boil some water. Once boiling, add tomatoes for only 1 minute then plunge the tomatoes into iced water. The peeling should slip right off.
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and let sit for at least one hour to allow flavours to develop.
If you are topping bread - slice a baguette to your desired thickness and brush one side with olive oil. Toast in the oven on a cookie sheet, oil side down. Then brush the other side with olive oil. Put in oven (around 350) Once browned on the bottom, take out of oven and rub the top with a half of a garlic clove. Top with bruschetta.
