My family Bruschetta recipe It's always light and refreshing in the summer (make-ahead, as well) Good semolina Italian bread - as much as you need (maybe 2 loaves) grill the bread with a little olive oil (will keep in a sealed plastic bag for 12hours-1 day, cool completely before putting them in the bag) For the topping: 2 lb plum tomatoes, seeded and diced 4 cloves of garlic, finely minced 3 TBLS chopped fresh basil 1 TBLS chopped fresh oregano 3 TBLS wine vinegar or lemon juice 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp sugar salt and pepper to taste Combine the ingredients and chill for several hours or over night, stir periodically. Bring to room temperature before serving. You can arrange the bruschetta on a platter(for a formal party) by putting about 1 TBLS (drained of excess juice) on each slice of toasted bread. Or you can make it informal, by serving the tomato topping in a pretty glass dish, surrounded by the toasted bread. (Never had someone say they didn't like it...) Posted by Devil Queen
