Ideal for a light lunch or starter, bruschetta is traditionally made with lightly toasted ciabatta, but most crusty bread will work.

Ingredients
Method
- Start by finely chopping or crushing the garlic. Heat the oil in a small frying pan, add the garlic and fry on a low heat until it’s a nice light-brown colour. Be careful not to burn it as it cooks very quickly. Remove from the heat.
- Slice the ciabatta and lightly toast it.
- Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and put in a medium sized bowl.
- Chop the basil and add that to the tomatoes, along with the cooked garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spoon the mixture onto the toast slices and drizzle on the remaining olive oil. If you like, add basil leaves on top.
