Entertaining the Bakersfield Way
There’s no more perfect combination of flavors and textures. What could be better? You can even combine it with a plate of insaccati (cured meats) such as prosciutto, and Italian cheeses.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. ripe Roma tomatoes
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tsp. red wine vinegar (balsamic is also nice)
- 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Parmesan shavings
- Crusty bread
Methods/steps
- Cut tomatoes in half, squeeze out seeds and excess juice.
- Dice and place in bowl. Add onion, garlic, basil, vinegar, salt and pepper (to taste), and olive oil. Let sit at room temperature for one hour.
- While that’s sitting, toast thin slices of crusty bread in the oven. To serve, brush toasted bread lightly with olive oil.
- Spoon tomato mixture over bread, sprinkle with shaved Parmesan cheese.
