🇮🇹 Italy recipe

Bruschetta al Pomodoro

The simplest and most honest expression of Italian cooking. Thick slices of rustic bread are grilled until smoky and golden, rubbed with raw garlic, and piled high with a vibrant mixture of ripe summer tomatoes, fragrant basil, and fruity extra virgin olive oil. Every ingredient must be exceptional.
