This appetiser is just wonderful with any dish! I love ripe fresh tomato with garlic and this dish is so well received at dinner parties! I have substituted apple juice for olive oil in part of this recipe to make the dish reasonably low-fat, some recipes call for 1/2 cup oil! The apple juice works beautifully with tomato! Ingredients:
4 ripe tomatoes, coarsely chopped |
1/2 spanish onion, coarsely chopped |
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |
3 tablespoons apple juice |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
salt & pepper |
1 garlic clove, peeled |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
8 slices ciabatta (thick slices) |
Directions:
1. Mix roughly chopped tomatoes, onion, parsley & garlic, apple juice and vinegar in a shallow bowl.
2. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Cover bowl and let tomatoes marinate at room temperature for about 1-2 hour.
4. Stir occasionally to distribute flavours.
5. Meanwhile, heat the grill/broiler.
6. For the bread rub one side with garlic and brush with a little olive oil and grill/broil them oiled-side up until lightly browned.
7. Place a good 2-3 spoonful of tomato mixture on each slice and serve with a fork and knife.
