When we were in wine country of the great and ever so famous Chianti regions we were a little surprised when bruschetta would show up to our table as simply toasted bread drizzled in olive oil.
Where’s the tomatoes? basil? garlic?
When in Rome (close to it)……it was surprisingly good especially with such few ingredients. That’s the moment I realized bruschetta and good quality olive oil go hand in hand no matter how you decide to prepare it!
Something so tasty ready in literally 5 minutes! Using the grill? Throw on some bread. Rub with garlic. Drizzle olive oil! Voila!
Savory’s Tips and Tricks
