- Ready In:
- 1hr 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1 baguette stick
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ripe plum tomatoes (about 8-10)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt & pepper
- 4 slices thick crusty Italian bread (we usually just use a baguette)
directions
- Cut tomatoes in half, squeeze out seeds and juice.
- Chop into small dice and place in bowl.
- Add onion, garlic, basil, vinegar, half the olive oil, salt and pepper to your taste.
- Let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour,drain liquid.
- On broil, toast bread on both sides until golden.
- Quickly brush one side of each slice with remaining olive oil.
- Spoon tomato mixture on top& serve.
- Note: My husband usually makes this and i believe he uses the drained liquid to brush the bread rather than the olive oil.
- Also we have made this using dried basil instead of fresh (1 tablespoons fresh= 1 teaspoons dried) and although it does not call for it in the recipe we also use some fresh parsley.

About me....well...let's see,right now I am a married, stay-at-home Mom to two beautiful children, a 10 year old daughter and a 7 year old son....they are the "lights" of my life, which I think I pretty much spent waiting for them! I feel so very lucky (and truly blessed) to be their "Mommy".
I don't know that I have a fave cookbook, (and I have rarely opened one of the many I have, since finding Zaar.) I just LOVE recipes and have been "acquiring" them since I was a teenager! Actually I think I bought my first cookbook in like grade two or three, a cookie recipe book from one of those scholastic book orders!
