Probably one of the most popular Roman recipe.
The Bruschetta, or garlic bread, is a symbol of very humble food tradition which owes its fame to the simplicity of ingredients and making process.
Bruschetta aglio and olio
Any time you sit in a pizzeria in Italy, this is the first thing we Romans order. A typical traditional antipasto, whose origin dates to back to time. It consists of roasted bread rubbed with garlic, extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. During summer time, tasting variations may include toppings of tomato, vegetables, beans, prosciutto, or even fish. Here is the most popular recipe of the Bruschetta aglio, olio e sale (garlic, olive oil and salt).
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread
- 1 clove of garlic
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
How to make bruschetta
The best bruschetta is easily ready. Firstly take a finger-thick slice of homemade bread and toast it . Secondly rub some garlic over the surface. Then add extra virgin olive oil and salt. If you’d like tomatoes you’d simply add fresh tomatoes diced and flavored with basil, and wait for 10 minutes. Definitely delicious!
Secret tips: cooked and eaten
Another secret for the perfect bruschetta is the temperature. The bread must be fresh and seasoned and then immediately eaten otherwise the seasoning penetrates too much inside the crumb making it become moist and soft.
