Fakie bruschetta
Ingredients
- 8 ripe plum tomatoes, diced and drained
- A handful of basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- Half a lemon
- Salt, pepper to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil
- A loaf of whole-grain/brown bread
Instructions
It's fakie bruschetta because I don't toast the bread, or cook the tomatoes. Italian tomatoes are the best* and so full of flavour that I like to eat it raw :)- In a bowl, toss together the drained tomatoes, basil leaves, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Sautée the garlic in a little olive oil for a couple of minutes, just enough for it to soften and become aromatic. Pour onto the tomatoes.
- Squeeze the lemon over it, and mix well.
- Serve over thick slices of bread or as a refreshing side garnish to burgers and other meat dishes.
