Directions: |
Directions:1. Mince the garlic and finely chop the shallot and place them in a medium sized bowl. Sprinkle with 1/2t Kosher Salt.
2. Chop the plum tomatoes into small pieces, spin the chopped tomatoes gently in salad spinner to remove seeds and excess moisture. I recommend you do this 2 or 3 times, each time removing the seeds in the spinner.
3. Add the tomatoes, salt and green onion to the bowl with the garlic and shallot.
4. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
FOR THE CROSTINI
1. Adjust oven rack so it is about 4 inches from heating element and heat broiler. Place bread on parchment lined baking sheet.
2. Broil the bread in batches to a deep golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and repeat on second side. Keep your eye on the bread constantly - moving it to make sure pieces are done evenly. |

Notes: We adapted this recipe that came from the book: Italy Recipes for Olive Oil and Vinegar Lovers. We got the book at Olive the Best - a great olive oil and vinegar store in our village. The recipe actually calls for Tuscan Herb infused oil and Sicilian Lemon white balsamic vinegar - which is sold at Olive the Best and similar type stores. If you can't get those special brands you may want to add dried basil and dried oregano to your olive oil.
This is the best tomato bruschetta recipe I have ever seen.
It is pretty simple and you can make all sorts of adaptations:
- you can serve it prepared. Spread the bruschetta on toasts or serve it "do it yourself" - with the toasts and bruschetta separate.
- you can add basil leaves - chopped or whole or a wide variety of cheeses
