How to make Italian Bruschetta - 3 Ways | Christine Cushing

RECIPE: BRUSCHETTA - 3 WAYS   Real bruschetta is just grilled ( on wood fire ) crusty bread that is almost burnt ( the meaning in Italian for Bruschetta).  The tomatoes are always just chopped with fresh basil and olive oil.  Nothing else.     1 loaf rustic Italian bread, sliced on the bias ½ “ thick 2 cloves garlic, whole 8 ripe plum tomatoes , peeled and diced 1/2  bunch basil extra virgin olive oil for drizzling  fleur do sel and pepper to taste    Dice tomatoes and toss in a medium bowl.   Add the basil , olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside at room temperature until ready to assemble for 15 minutes – 1hour.  If leaving longer the tomatoes could get too soggy.   Grill bread  ( ideally on charcoal ) but I did it in broiler for 2-3 minutes over very high heat , on both sides until toasted and charred. Remove and immediately grate whole garlic cloves on bread for a gentle garlic flavour.    Spoon the tomatoes onto grilled bread slices and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil to taste.  Serve immediately.   Serves 8    VARIATION # 1 Ingredients:   200 gm Buratta ( 7 oz) Extra virgin olive oil , Sea salt , pepper Fresh basil   Follow same instruction for the toast as the original recipe above.   VARIATION # 2   Ingredients: 8 Cremini mushrooms thinly sliced 2 Tbsp. olive oil (25 ml) 1 stem whole rosemary Sea salt and cracked black pepper ¼ cup sweet Marsala (50 ml)   In a medium frying pan heat olive oil over medium high setting.  Add the mushrooms and rosemary stem.  Do not crowd the pan, you may have to do it in two batches. Toss quickly until golden and slightly soft.  Season with salt and pepper and deglaze with Marsala.  Remove from heat.   For toast follow same instruction as above in the original recipe.   Top each charred slice with warm mushrooms.  Drizzle with extra olive oil.
