Warmed Tomato And Garlic Bruschetta With Balsamic Syrup
From harpraxis 16 years agoIngredients
- 6 slices Italian sourdough, ciabatta or focaccia (vegan) shopping list
- 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped (increase amount according to how much you like tomato) shopping list
- 3 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (not minced) shopping list
- fresh torn basil (about 1/4 cup) shopping list
- fresh flat-leaf parsley shopping list
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar shopping list
- freshly ground sea salt (about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon) shopping list
- freshly ground black pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Prepare the bread: If the bread is a large loaf, you can even cut the 6 slices into halves.
- Put the chopped tomatoes in a bowl and stir in the salt. It might seem like a lot of salt, but like putting sugar on strawberries, salt on tomatoes has a kind of self-'macerating' action and they don't taste that salty in the end product.
- Put the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan, bring to the boil, reduce heat and cook until reduced to approx. 1/4 cup.
- Put the olive oil and garlic into a small heat-proof jug or bowl and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds (1000w on high) or in a small saucepan, until quite warm but not so hot you can't touch it.
- Toss the tomatoes, basil, oregano and oil mixture together.
- Toast the bread, and top with the tomato mixture. Crack pepper over the bruschetta, then drizzle the balsamic reduction over - about 1 teaspoon per slice should be plenty. Top with a good sprig of the parsley.
