Bruschetta di Pomodoro

                  Bruschetta di Pomodoro

Bruschetta is a toasted Bread. Usually like a white wheat or sourdough Bread. I found the Tuscan Bread from Aldi very yummy.
So when you say you are making Bruschetta, you also have to add what kind of Bruschetta you are making since it just refers to the Bread. In this case here, I am making a Tomato topping with is called Pomodoro (Pomodoro=Tomato). If you want to add Mozzarella cheese, then it's called 
Caprese. You can show off a bit at your friends with that ;-) 


This is what you need:

- 2 Slices of Bread

- 2 Big Tomatoes, thinly diced, seeds removed

- 1 glove Garlic

- fresh Basil

- 1/2 half shallot (its a milder onion but every onion would work)

- Salt and Pepper

- a bit Olive oil


This is how you do it:

Usually you would roast the bread on a special rack on the gas stove. I don't have a gas stove nor do I have that special rack. You can also just place the bread in the oven with a bit Olive oil sprinkled over it and bake until toasted. But if it has to go fast (sometimes it just happens that way), put them in the toaster and toast them this way. Maybe on a setting 2 1/2 or 3. 

In the meantime, dice the Tomatoes without the seeds, dice the onion and the garlic very thinly. Roll the Basil and cut into strips, add that all together in a bowl, stir. Salt it and add just a tiny bit of olive oil, just to bring it all together.

When the bread is done, you can brush a bit olive oil on it first before you spoon the Tomatoes on top. 

Guten Appetit
