Bruschetta with pesto and basil is a very simple recipe that anyone can achieve, even those who are not good in the kitchen. Since there is nothing to cook, it is a summer dish that can be served cold or at room temperature as an appetizer or as a main dish. It is also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Ingredients for four people:
- 4 slices of whole grain bread
- A clove of garlic
- A handful of fresh basil and a handful of cherry tomatoes (or cherry)
- For the pesto:
- 40 grams of basil
- 40 grams of pine nuts
- 15 grams of parmesan cheese
- 15 grams of pecorino cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
The first thing is to prepare pesto. Simply wash and dry the leaves, then blend them together with pine nuts and cheese until you get a thick cream and keep it in a jar covered with half an inch of oil. Take the slices of bread and grill ten minutes to each part, until they become amber or, depending on the tastes, golden and crispy: this operation can be performed with the aid of a grid, or of a pan to be used as plate . Rub each slice with a clove of garlic, then spread the pesto on; decorated with a few leaves of basil to taste and, if desired, even with a couple of cherry tomatoes. Ultimate all dressed with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.
