Want in on a secret? If you don't have a lot of time on your hands, if you have leftovers (I find tomatoes and the ends of french bread are always lying around my house.)- make bruschetta!
It's easy to make and mouth-wateringly good!
Ingredients to make just enough for one person
2 large or 5 small Tomatoes (I used the last of my Trader Joe's mini heirlooms that I buy every week.)
Extra Virgin olive oil, 1 Tbsp
Balsamic Vinegar, 1 Tsp
Fresh Basil
Salt, Pepper to taste
French Bread
Extra EVOO
Garlic (I used ready minced)
optional
Finely grate some parmesan into the mix
Here's what you do.
Get the bread ready by slicing it diagonally, putting olive oil and garlic on it and toasting it in an oven preheated to 450 degrees (F) for 6 minutes.
While you wait for the oven to warm- remove the skin from the tomatoes by placing them in boiling water that's just been taken off the heat, leaving them for 1 minutes and then taking them out.
I prick the skin with a paring knife so I can grab the skin, but then it comes right off!
Get the seeds and juice out, slice into small pieces and mix in with the olive oil, chopped fresh basil, balsamic, salt and pepper and parmesan.
Once your bread is out of the oven- pile the tomatoes on top and chow down! The results are sweet, tangy, fresh and warm!
Voila!
Hope you all had a wonderful week!
