I still remember tasting that in a restaurant many years ago.

Extremely simple to do and with good tomatoes this is absolutely delicious.

I also like pico de gallo on some crumbling and hot bread.

Really easy to make too, on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Just some toasted bread with tomatoes, garlic and some olive oil, it's a 5 minute job. I like fresh oregano (I keep it in the freezer), but dry works as well.

Like most things in Italian cuisine, it's very easy to prepare but requires quality ingredients, not easy to find good tomatoes, olive oil and basil everywhere

That looks excellent. I don't think I've ever had bruschetta with truffle oil, but if I happen to have some at any point I'll have to try it out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, it's just olive oil with truffle flavor, but it's not very heavy. Works out really well.

Oh I know, it's just not an ingredient that I keep in the kitchen habitually, and it's too distinctive a flavour to substitute. My stepmother is quite a fan of truffle so I might see if she has some and make bruschetta next time I see her

I got some last time I was in Italy, not something we usually have in the kitchen either.

Looks delicious!

We like to put the tomato over a smear of basil pesto.

Looks yummy.

Dip then in oven-melted brie and it will be perfect

People downvoting you are Italians. Be thankful that you're still alive.

Way heavy on the tomatoes for my taste but damn it looks so good! Excellent job. Maybe even add a dipping sauce after eating several regular.

broo·skeh·tuh
The correct pronunciation, and a sure-fire way to hear the Olive Garden waiter forcefully emphasizing the incorrect pronunciation while reading my order back to me like I am the idiot who has never spent a month backpacking Italy.

But yeah, good stuff.

Bruschetta is singular, bruschette plural... I mean, calling Olive Garden Italian cuisine is debatable, or so I've heard :D

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We know, but the guy at Olive Garden will says bru-Shet-uh.

i imagine a stereotypical new york italian-american accent when I read that. :)
