Grilled Bread with Olive Oil, Garlic, and Tomato

1. 1

   Wash the tomatoes, split them in half lengthwise, pick out as many seeds as possible with the tip of a paring knife, and dice the tomatoes into 3/4-inch cubes.

2. 2

   Wash the basil leaves, shake them thoroughly dry, and tear them by hand into tiny pieces.

3. 3

   (For more pungent flavor, a few pinches of oregano can be substituted for the basil.)

4. 4

   Grill the bread on both sides.

5. 5

   While still hot from the grill, rub one side of each slice with the mashed garlic.

6. 6

   Spread over it the tomato and basil (or oregano), sprinkle with salt and a grinding of pepper, and top with a trickle of olive oil.

7. 7

   If the olive oil is truly choice, you can increase the amount.

8. 8

   Serve at once.
