  • Author: Keith Recker

Description

You can’t go wrong with a classic from the garden.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 roma tomatoes, diced, seeds removed
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup basil, gently cut to avoid bruising. Save a pinch for serving.
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

For the bread:

  • 1 large fresh baguette, sliced
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • 2 cloves garlic, halved

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, marinate diced tomatoes with basil, vinegar, salt, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Let marinate for at least 2 hours.
  2. Brush bread with olive oil. Lightly toast sliced bread in a 400-degree oven until slightly brown. Let cool then rub with garlic cloves.
  3. Spoon tomatoes on top of bread just before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
