What you'll need...

  • 930g tomatoes
  • Handful of fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 30ml olive oil
  • 30ml balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 loaf of bread (we enjoy baguette, but sourdough works too)
  • 10ml olive oil, for coating the bread
  • Parmesan, optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Dice the tomatoes and finely chop the basil. 

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the balsamic oil, 30ml olive oil and minced garlic, mixing well. Add the diced tomatoes and basil, combining well for even coverage. If you like olives, add a few chopped black olives to the mixture. 

  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

  4. Cover and place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour. 

  1. While the tomato mix is chilling, preheat the oven to 200C / 180C fan. You want to prep the bread 10 minutes before removing the tomato mix from the fridge. 

  2. Slice the bread into even, individual slices and place the bread evenly on a large baking tray. Brush the top of each slice of bread with olive oil. 

  3. Bake in the oven for 8 – 10 minutes until toasted but not too hard or crispy. 

  4. Top the crisp bread with the tomato mixture and add thin slices or small chunks of Parmesan (or feta). Serve and enjoy!
