Bruschetta Pomodoro image

If there are kids in the kitchen who want to help out, you can ditch the knives for this easy appetizer; just rip the tomatoes and basil with your hands. The tomato mixture can also be tossed with pasta to make a fresh sauce.From the book "Lucinda's Rustic Italian Kitchen," by Lucinda Scala Quinn (Wiley).

Yield Makes 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 8-inch loaf round Italian bread, cut in half crosswise, and cut into 10 slices per side
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 to 6 Roma tomatoes, cut into 1-inch dice (about 3 cups)
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, cleaned, stacked in a pile, rolled, and cut into a fine julienne
6 cloves garlic, 3 crushed and 3 cut in half lengthwise
2 teaspoons coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Set the oven rack in the top part of the oven.
  • Place sliced bread on rimmed baking sheets. Cook 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Flip bread and toast 5 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, place the olive oil, tomatoes, basil, 3 crushed garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Rub the 3 halved garlic cloves, cut side down, over every piece of toasted bread. Spoon a couple tablespoons of tomato mixture over each piece of toast and serve immediately.
