Easy Tomato & Basil Bruschetta with Red Label Snapper Recipe
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Italian
Yield: 6 pieces
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Passive Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 Tomatoes (de-seeded and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Red onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of Garlic, minced
- 15 Basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- Salt
- Pepper
- Baguette bread
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves of Garlic, smashed
Steps
- In a bowl, combine the chopped and de-seeded tomatoes (very important to de-seed), red onion, minced garlic, basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and oregano. Mix together thoroughly to combine and then season with plenty of salt and pepper. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. This helps the flavours develop.
- Slice the baguette on the diagonal into 1-inch slices. Heat a grill pan or Indian ‘tawa’ and toast the bread on both sides until crisp. Handle it carefully, as you need to rub the smashed garlic on this warm, toasted bread (one side only) and then brush the same side with some extra virgin olive oil. Now, place the tomato mixture on the bread and serve.
Note: This recipe doubles very easily.
