Tomato bruschetta with our Garda oil
· Famiglia Vergani
There are recipes that need no introduction. Tomato bruschetta is one of them: a few simple ingredients and an extra virgin olive oil that makes all the difference. That is why it is our favorite recipe for tasting our Garda oil as soon as a new bottle is opened.
Ingredients (for 4 people)
- 4 slices of rustic bread, about 1.5 cm thick
- 4 ripe tomatoes (Roma or datterini)
- 1 clove of garlic
- A few fresh basil leaves
- Fine salt and black pepper, to taste
- Beghelli-Vergani extra virgin olive oil, to taste
Preparation
- Wash the tomatoes, cut them into cubes, and place them in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, the basil leaves torn by hand, and a drizzle of oil. Let it rest for about ten minutes.
- Toast the slices of bread on the grill, in a pan, or in the oven until they are golden and crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside.
- While still warm, rub the slices with the garlic clove cut in half.
- Spread the tomatoes over the bread, add a grind of pepper, and finish with a generous drizzle of raw oil.
- Serve immediately, before the bread loses its crispness.
Our tip
The oil should be added at the end, raw: this is the best way to appreciate its aroma and flavor. The 250 ml size is perfect for everyday use at the table, while those who cook often will find the 500 ml and 750 ml sizes more convenient.
Enjoy your meal from our family!
