Bruschetta with tomato and basil
Bruschetta with tomato and basil
Italians are crazy about starters – or “antipasti” – and especially crazy about this classic: bruschetta with tomato and basil. It’s also crazy how simple it is – and how delicious.
Ingredients
4 slices of white bread
100 g parmigiano reggiano (piece)
100 g porchetta, sliced (rolled roast pork, grilled)
6 black olives (de-stoned)
1 can ORO di Parma chopped tomatoes with basil (425 ml)
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
A generous handful of fresh oregano
3 tbsp. “extra vergine” olive oil
Salt and pepper from the mill
Cayenne pepper
Step 1 : The preparation
For this bruschetta variation, first chop garlic into fine pieces and heat in a pan with olive oil until the aroma of sautéed garlic fills your kitchen. Then toast the bread slices on both sides in the pan and set aside.
Step 2 : Prepare onions and porchetta
Now cut the onions into fine pieces and put them in the pan with the olive oil and garlic. Sauté the onions until they are translucent. Now add the porchetta to the onions and sauté as well.
Step 3 : Prepare the tomato mixture
Then add the ORO di Parma chopped tomatoes, olives and oregano to the pan and simmer briefly. Finally, season with salt and pepper and season with a little cayenne pepper.
Step 4 : The final
Lastly, top the bread slices with the tomato mix and add some parmesan over the bruschetta. Bake in the oven for about 5 min and then serve.
