1. TOMATO BRUSCHETTA:
Ingredients:

 10 large tomatoes
 3 cloves of garlic
 Minced 100gm fresh basil leaves
 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
 Olive oil



Method:

Cut tomoatoes into small pieces as they have to be placed on bread slice later. In a medium bowl, mix together tomatoes, garlic, basil leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and then set aside.

Slice bread into 1-inch slices or to whichever thickness preferred. With a spoon put extra virgin olive oil on one side of the bread. Place the slices oil-side down on a cooking sheet, and toast them in the oven until golden brown.
Either serve tomato mixture in a bowl with a spoon and lots of toasted bread slices, or top each bruschetta with the tomato mixture and place on a large serving plate. Try not to top too far ahead of serving, as the bread can get soggy.
