Bruschetta

This is my first time making bruschetta, and probably the most enjoyable kitchen experience I have had yet. A taste explosion, bruschetta provides a platform to get really creative and make some scrumptious beautiful food!

Ingredients (3 people)

6 Ciabatta rolls

200 grams Buffalo mozzarella

8 ripe vine tomatoes

1 handful of purple basil

4 garlic cloves

Chilli oil

Olive oil

dollop of white wine vinegar

1/2 lemon

1 avocado

1/2 a large red pepper

1/2 red onion

1/2 packet of salami

pepper & salt

Instructions

Cut the rolls in half and toast on a girdle pan or on a bbq, douse with chilli oil and rub some bruised garlic cloves over them. Place thick slices of buffalo mozzarella on each one and put in the oven for 1 -2 minutes to bake.

Meanwhile you would have prepared earlier (key is to keep produce at room temperature as it enhances the flavour) the topping. carefully remove the seeds and white parts of the tomatoes and red pepper, tear the tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop the red pepper. Add finely chopped red onion and chunks of avocado, then long strips of salami (a little like spaghetti). Pour over a decent amount of olive oil and the white wine vinegar, add pepper and salt and roughly ripped basil, then let it marinate for 30 minutes.

Once the ciabatta is out of the oven top with generous portions of the fresh mixture and squeeze lemon juice to finish.

Your mouth will water!
