Tomato Bruschetta Toast

By Marie Lavigne

Not really a recipe, more an arrangement. Good bread, toasted hard, rubbed with a raw garlic clove, topped with chopped tomatoes (fresh in summer, drained canned the rest of the year), olive oil, salt. That's it. Eat standing up at the counter.

Ingredients

  • ·4 thick slices, ideally sourdough bread
  • ·1/2 can, drained and chopped canned tomatoes
  • ·2 cloves, peeled garlic
  • ·3 tbsp, good olive oil
  • ·flaky salt
  • ·to taste black pepper

Method

  1. 1.Toast the bread until it's properly crisp on both sides. Under a grill or in a dry pan over medium-high heat.
  2. 2.While still hot, rub one side of each piece firmly with a peeled garlic clove. The toast acts as a grater.
  3. 3.Pile the chopped tomatoes on top. Drizzle with olive oil. Finish with flaky salt and a crack of pepper.

If you don't have…

  • good bread: any bread. The toasting will improve it
  • canned tomatoes: 2 ripe fresh tomatoes, diced; in winter, canned is honestly better
