Jute Gardens Italian Basil Bruschetta

Micro basil takes your simple bruschetta to the next level of freshness all year round.

Recipe

8 medium	multi coloured tomatoes, seeded, diced (about 2 cups)
2 tbsp	olive oil
1 clove	garlic, minced
1 tsp	red wine vinegar
½ tsp	salt
	ground pepper to taste

½	baguette sliced into eight ¾" slices on the bias
1 tbsp	olive oil
	salt and pepper

4-5 big snips	Jute Gardens Micro Basil
1 oz	shaved parmesan cheese

Mix together the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, red wine vinegar, salt. Set aside. You can make this up to an hour ahead.

Lay the baguette slices out on a tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Preheat your grill to high heat.

Toast the bread on the grill for 5-7 minutes, turning frequently until golden brown with a little char. Transfer the toasts to your serving platter.

Just before serving, toss the Jute Gardens Micro Basil into the marinated tomatoes and mix it up. Spoon onto the pre arranged toasted slices, trying not to get too much juice onto the toasts. A slotted spoon works well for this.

Top with parmesan shavings and serve immediately.

Makes 8 toasts.
