TOMATO BRUSCHETTA



Tomato Bruschetta image

This classic recipe is for lazy summer days that beg for moving slowly and snacking often. Chop tomatoes, place them in a colander, shower them with salt, then make yourself a drink or go for a swim. The longer they drain, the better they'll be. This bruschetta gets better as it sits for a bit, so make it up to an hour ahead. While most bruschetta recipes have you rub a raw garlic clove on toasted bread, this one calls for making a quick infused oil that's stirred into the tomatoes and basil, providing a more delicate garlicky note. Pile it all on toasted bread, and enjoy bite after juicy bite.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound plum tomatoes (about 4 to 5 large), or another variety of ripe tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
8 large basil leaves
Grilled or toasted crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Core and chop the tomatoes, then transfer to a colander over a bowl or in the sink. Add the salt and gently stir. Let drain for up to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the garlic oil: In a small saucepan, warm the olive oil and garlic over low heat until the garlic is softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes, making sure the garlic doesn't brown. Set aside to cool.
  • Roll the basil leaves up and thinly slice crosswise.
  • When the oil is cool and the tomatoes are well drained, combine the tomatoes, garlic oil and basil in a medium bowl. Season with additional salt, to taste. Spoon over toasted bread.

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices rustic country-style or sourdough bread, sliced thick
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup virgin olive oil, best available
1/4 cup fresh basil, stems discarded, leaves chopped
3 tomatoes, sliced thinly (ideally yellow and red tomatoes)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toast the bread in a toaster or oven until it is very brown.
  • Immediately after removing the bread from the toaster, rub a garlic clove over the entire surface of 1 side. Each slice should use up about 1/4 to 1/3 of a clove. (Be careful, when the garlic meets the toast's hot surface, it will create fumes that sting your eyes-just like an onion.)
  • Generously drizzle olive oil over each slice. Sprinkle basil over top, then top with tomato slices. Sprinkle with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Slice into 1-inch strips, or quarters, and serve immediately.
