This is a great tasting bruschetta spread that is easy to make.
1 beefsteak tomato chopped
10 mint leaves chopped
1 clove garlic minced
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 loaf good crusty bread sliced, grilled with a brushing of olive oil. After grilled brush with a little fresh lemon juice.
Mix the first 5 ingredients and serve in a nice bowl on a platter with your grilled bread slices.

ReplyDeleteWish my bank had a TV for customers to watch..sure would help when in line ups!
Thanks for the link Michelle! If I knew how to edit my post on blogger I'd add the link. I did add the link on my blog :0)
ReplyDeleteI like that...thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your serving platter as well...but I guess we can't share that.
Yum....I love bruschetta toppings! Great for company and those friday evenings when no one really wants a big meal but lots of choices for munching! This looks great! I agree with Betty....TV at the bank?!!! Wow...not in my little town....more like country music on the mp3 player strapped to the ears of the person next in line! :)
ReplyDeletewow - that's creative! having been raised in an Italian family, I can honestly say I have never seen a bruschetta that looks like that - it was always just tomatoes, olive oil, basil, salt and garlic. Pine nuts were kind of expensive but now more affordable. Sometimes we put cheese on top (like romano or parmesan). I never saw a creamy bruschetta like this before but then - it's like any other dish like this: lots of personal variations from the traditional version.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE bruschetta, but have never seen it made with ricotta cheese. This looks interesting and very tasty! I'll have to try it sometime.
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for another Bruschetta recipe!
