Now that its tomato season I’ve started adding bruschetta to our dinners.

tomato bruschetta

This is the sort of dish that seems too easy to call a recipe and so simple you wouldn’t think it could taste that special… but it does. With the right tomatoes, you can’t go wrong. And I don’t think you can get anything but the right ones these days.

The most basic tomato bruschetta:

• Chopped tomatoes (sweet & ripe)
• A clove of garlic (thinly sliced)
• Black pepper (freshly cracked is best)
• Salt (coarse sea salt is nice)
• A few glugs of olive oil
• Crusty bread, toasted

Mix everything but the toast & let sit for 10 minutes, or so. Top the toasts and enjoy, with oil and tomato juice running down your arm.
