bruschetta with tomatoes and garlic
Ingredients - Serves 4 Method
Maltese ftira or wholemeal bread
Summer tomatoes
1 Fresh clove of garlic, crushed
Grappolini Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh basil leaves, torn
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Bring some water to the boil. Put the tomatoes in a bowl and pour over the hot water.

Leave for a minute to blanch. Drain the tomatoes, peel, halve and deseed the tomatoes.

Put the halved tomatoes in a bowl and add all the other ingredients. Stir well and leave to marinate for about 30 minutes.

Toast the bread of your choice and top with the tomato mixture. Serve warm.

Choose ripe and juicy tomatoes. Crushing the garlic is easy – just press it with the side of the knife. Tear the basil leaves by hand to retain its flavours.
