Ingredients

  • 6 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 12 cup basil, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 12 red onion, chopped
  • 14 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 12 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 loaf French bread, sliced, toasted

Method

  • Cooking time is minimum marinating time.
  • Amounts are to taste - you will probably use less red onion, and you might want more garlic.
  • Combine chopped tomato, basil, garlic, onion, olive oil, salt, and pepper and mix well.
  • Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to overnight - this mellows out the raw garlic and onion a bit.
  • When ready to eat, slice the french bread and lightly spray with oil spray or brush with olive oil on each side.
  • Toast the bread in the broiler (or on a grill) turning after 3-4 minutes - watch carefully so you don't burn it.
  • When the bread is done, move to a serving platter, and top each slice with 2-3 T of the tomato mixture.
  • Enjoy!
