This is the real bruschetta... all additions to this are elaborations, but if you skip this step, it ain't bruschetta! Ingredients:
coarse italian style country bread, thickish slices, day old |
garlic clove peeled and cut in half |
olive oil, the best you can find |
optional salt |
Directions:
1. Grill or broil day old bread slices- you can use older, staler bread, but grill only one side then.
2. When the bread is grilled to suit you, use the cut side of the garlic clove to gently rub one side of the slice- be careful not to overdo it, as you can easily melt the whole clove into the bread!
3. Drizzle great olive oil over the rubbed and grilled bread.
4. Sprinkle with salt if you have used salt-free Tuscan or Umbrian bread.
5. That's it, folks. What you put on top is your business, but if you haven't started with this, it isn't bruschetta- or in Tuscany, it's called fettunta, which means oiled slice
6. If you plan to use truffles on the bruschetta, skip the garlic and go straight to oil, because garlic cancels out the truffles.
