Bruschetta

After making the pedhas, I was on a roll:). P called up from work and said he wanted to have bruschetta: he was craving it ever since we saw Julie and Julia,where in a scene Julie is making yummy bruschetta.
So we decided to make a dinner out of it.

Ingredients: 1 baguette
7 to 8 firm ripe tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
2 tbsps EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh buffalo mozzarella
freshly ground black pepper according to desired taste
couple of sprigs of basil.(you can use dried basil too,but use sparingly because dried basil generally tends to be a little strong in taste)
Method: De-seed the tomatoes


















Cut the baguette up into diagonal slices













Heat EVOO on a skillet and toast these slices to golden brown on both the sides.You can use the oven too,Just coat the slices with EVOO and put it on the grill setting for 5 minutes for 180 deg C.

Chop the de-seeded tomatoes into cubes.Add the sugar,salt,EVOO,basil and finely chopped garilc and freshly ground pepper and the cheese.








Mix this up nicely and keep it in the fridge for an hour. Later when you are ready to eat,spoon out the tomato mixture on to the toasted bread and enjoy!
