Bruschetta Mix

Available from the Charcuterie Suzanne Delicatessen counter at Arkadia Foodstore Gozo

Bruschetta is an Italian delicacy, often served as an appetizer over slices of toasted or grilled bread. In fact, the name comes from the Italian word ‘bruscare’, meaning to roast over coals. The grill marks on the bread are often part of their presentation.

To make a good bruschetta:

• Be careful not to overload the mixture with moist ingredients, like tomatoes, to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
• Brush the bread with olive oil before grilling for that golden crisp.
• Rub the warm, toasted bread with a clove of garlic before topping with the bruschetta mix.

Bruschetta is very versatile, and it can be incorporated into various dishes, apart from being savoured as an appetizer.
