Bruschetta

I got this recipe from Jim and Jean Leach, however I make it from memory. Ylenia made it for me in Italy, except they use a different type of bread. This is great to use up all those extra garden tomatoes.

10 plum tomatoes, diced
3 cloves garli, minced
3/4 Cup fresh basil leaves , coarsly chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 Cup extra-virgin olive oil
(J & J put in a little chopped, sweet onion for extra punch)
salt and pepper to taste
French or Italian Bread slices

In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients except the bread; set aside. Toast slices of breadd. Serve tomato mixture, room temperature in a bowl with a spoon and lots of toasted bread slices. Enjoy

I love Bruschetta this sounds like a great recepie. When I make it I follow almost the exact same recepie...the differences are I add fresh ground multicolour pepper and oregano to taste, a tablespoon of really good balsamic/vinegar and a half a teaspoon of sugar (the sweetness just does something amazing when mixed with the tomatoes.
