Bruschetta
Serves 8
Time 20 min
If there's one dish that best defines the spirit of simple, classic Italian cooking it might just be bruschetta. Slices of rustic bread are lightly brushed with olive oil and garlic after being toasted over an open fire. Serve with your choice of toppings, including Tomato Bruschetta Spread, Sicilian-Style Eggplant Caponata or Grilled Onion and Cannellini Bean Dip.
