Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs ripe plum tomatoes (about 8-10)
2 tbsp finely chopped onions
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 tsp red wine vinegar
6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper
4 slices thick crusty italian bread (we usually just use a baguette)

Directions:

Cut tomatoes in half, squeeze out seeds and juice.
Chop into small dice and place in bowl.
Add onion, garlic, basil, vinegar, half the olive oil, salt and pepper to your taste.
Let stand at room temperature for about 1 hour,drain liquid.
On broil, toast bread on both sides until golden.
Quickly brush one side of each slice with remaining olive oil.
Spoon tomato mixture on top& serve.
Note: My husband usually makes this and i believe he uses the drained liquid to brush the bread rather than the olive oil.
Also we have made this using dried basil instead of fresh (1 tablespoons fresh= 1 teaspoons dried) and although it does not call for it in the recipe we also use some fresh parsley.
