I worked in a family-owned Italian restaurant in high school and this was one of my favorites! Ingredients:
1 loaf italian bread, sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices |
4 large tomatoes, diced |
3 large onions, diced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 teaspoon sugar |
4 tablespoons sweet italian fresh basil, chopped |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Spread sliced bread onto aluminum baking pan, drizzle with olive oil.
3. Toast bread 10-20 minutes, turning once.
4. In medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes, onions, sugar, and garlic and stir well. Add sweet basil, and red wine vinegar. Stir well. Add approximately 1 tablespoon olive oil, stir well.
5. When bread comes out of oven, top bread slices with approximately 2 tablespoons of tomato/onion mixture.
6. I have seen fresh mozzerella slices used below the brushetta topping, which is very pretty and probably delicious!
