traditional peasant tomato and garlic bruschetta
(1 rating)
this is called fettunta in Italy, a word that comes from the Tuscan dialect and derives from Latin, meaning “anointed slice.” It is a slice of bread grilled over hot coals, rubbed with garlic and sprinkled with olive oil. to be authentic, you should use only the finest Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. The ripe tomato is just crushed in your hand and smashed onto the bread, then eaten at once. This is bruschetta at its simplest and best. This is a more civilized version, but you should try the real thing.Unknown source
