Ingredients

Makes 2 serves

  • 3-4 slices of crusty cob loaf or similar
  • 4 tomatoes
  • half a red onion
  • 20-25 leaves fresh basil
  • minced garlic
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • balsamic glaze (optional)

Method

  1. Remove the core from the tomatoes and cut into quarters. Remove the seeds and cut the tomato flesh into small dice. Put the diced tomato into a bowl.
  2. Cut half a red onion into small dice and add to the tomatoes.
  3. Pick 20-25 basil leaves. Stack them together and roll into a tube. This makes it easier to slice the leaves thinly. Add the basil to the tomatoes and onion.
  4. Season the tomato mix with salt and pepper and add about a teaspoon of olive oil. Combine and set aside.
  5. Heat a pan with some olive oil. Place the bread into the pan and cook the first side for about a minute, then turn over. Spread a small amount of minced garlic onto the cooked side of the bread and turn back over to cook garlic out for about 30 seconds.
  6. Place bread onto a plate and top with the tomato mix. Drizzle with some balsamic glaze and garnish with a sprig of basil.
