"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
10 plum tomatoes, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
French or Italian-style bread slices
Traditional Aceto Balsamico (aged Balsamic Vinegar), optional
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, mix together tomatoes, garlic, basil leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper; set aside.

Slice the bread into 1-inch slices. If you're working with a large loaf, you'll then want to halve each slice again.

Brush one side of each slice with extra virgin olive oil. Place the slices oil-side down on a cooking sheet, and toast them in the oven until golden brown. NOTE: These can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Be sure to let cool completely before storing.

Either serve tomato mixture, room temperature, in a bowl with a spoon and lots of toasted bread slices, or tops each bruschetta with the tomato mixture and place on a large serving plate. Try not to top too far ahead of serving, as the bread can get soggy.
