Genuine Bruschetta
From decobabe 16 years ago
- 5 minutes to make
- Serves 1
This is the real bruschetta... all additions to this are elaborations, but if you skip this step, it ain't bruschetta!
Ingredients
- coarse Italian style country bread, thickish slices, day old shopping list
- garlic clove peeled and cut in half shopping list
- olive oil, the best you can find shopping list
- optional salt shopping list
How to make it
- Grill or broil day old bread slices-- you can use older, staler bread, but grill only one side then.
- When the bread is grilled to suit you, use the cut side of the garlic clove to gently rub one side of the slice-- be careful not to overdo it, as you can easily melt the whole clove into the bread!
- Drizzle great olive oil over the rubbed and grilled bread.
- Sprinkle with salt if you have used salt-free Tuscan or Umbrian bread.
- That's it, folks. What you put on top is your business, but if you haven't started with this, it isn't bruschetta-- or in Tuscany, it's called fettunta, which means "oiled slice"
- If you plan to use truffles on the bruschetta, skip the garlic and go straight to oil, because garlic cancels out the truffles.

Thanks for posting this. You're right, this is the real stuff and the correct first step before adding anything. I was in a otherwise very nice Italian restaurant and the waiter offered complimentary bruschetta. I think it was cheese toast. Love your...more

Yes. This is it. Won't have it any other way. Can't eat it in restaurants any more (not that I go to many restaurants any more :) )
Thanks, Decobabe.
