Every now and again I get the pre-dinner rumbles in my stomach that need to be satisfied. If you have a nice fresh loaf of bread handy this tasty little snack is sure to satisfy, although I will warn you, with the abundance of garlic and onions in this recipe don’t anticipate on getting https://experience.tripster.ru/experience/Shanghai/sights/ too close with anyone! This recipe is a simple blend of some time tested flavours. The onions and garlic mixed with the fresh basil really pull together well and draw out the natural flavour of the tomatoes for a true Italian taste. This recipe is more of a guideline than anything, you can add more or less of any ingredient based on personal preference. It also helps increase the flavour if you make this in advance and keep it in the fridge over night. This allows the oil to penetrate the other ingredients and release more of the natural taste. I hope you enjoy this little snack!
Ingredients
- 2lbs of tomatoes, feel free to use whatever type you would like (Plum, Beefsteak, Roma, etc.), this roughly equates to 11 Roma tomatoes
- Half an onion, or if you have them handy I like to use shallots
- 4 cloves of garlic
- a large bunch of fresh basil
- 1/4 cup of a high grade olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Loaf of bread, Italian or french loaf are preferred.
- Step one is to start chopping! Finely chop your onion and garlic, the tomatoes should be a little more coarse.
- Chop up your basil,and combine onions, garlic, tomatoes and basil in a bowl
- Add the 1/4 cup of olive oil
- Season with salt and pepper
- Serve on top of bread and enjoy!
