Bruschetta A La Lynne

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 6 roma tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 cup basil, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 red onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 loaf french bread, sliced, toasted

Recipe

• 1 cooking time is minimum marinating time.
• 2 amounts are to taste - you will probably use less red onion, and you might want more garlic.
• 3 combine chopped tomato, basil, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well.
• 4 refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to overnight - this mellows out the raw garlic and onion a bit.
• 5 when ready to eat, slice the french bread and lightly spray with oil spray or brush with olive oil on each side. toast the bread in the broiler (or on a grill) turning after 3-4 minutes - watch carefully so you don't burn it.
• 6 when the bread is done, move to a serving platter, and top each slice with 2-3 t of the tomato mixture. enjoy!
