If your tomatoes are not ripe yet and you are craving bruschetta with a tomato, basil, garlic and olive oil topping, use canned stewed tomatoes. If you dice them on a cutting board and lift them up off the cutting board with the french knife you have been chopping them with, they will not be too wet.
Place them in a bowl, add salt and pepper, minced fresh garlic, chopped fresh basil; stir, drizzle w/ olive oil.Serve w/ toasted french bread rounds that have been brushed w/ olive oil, garliced and toasted in the oven or on your grill.You may top them w/ finely grated parmesan cheese.
Stewed tomatoes are made with ripe harvested tomatoes and thus have that deep, rich round umami part of taste.We only get real ripe, tomato tasting tomatoes one month of the year in Mn.
Do you and yours' a favor and try it w/ stewed tomatoes. Luscious.
