Brilliant bruschetta (Fettunta)

Image

Preparation: 2 minutes
Cooking: 5 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
  • 1 Bread loaf (I used a sourdough round loaf)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (use a top quality one)
  • A head of garlic (push the boat out and buy organic)
  • Salt for seasoning

Image

Note: the ingredients above are what you need in general terms. I didn’t specify what quantity of this or what quantity of that because some of you may like to eat just one fettunta slice, while someone else would go for two or three slices and still be hungry. Furthermore, I have not put “ground pepper” in the list because a good olive oil should have a peppery taste and if it slightly burns your throat; that’s a good thing, it means that your oil is very good! However, if you feel that you want to add some ground pepper; just do it, it is not a crime!

Directions:
Image
Slice the bread.

Image
Grill the slices on both sides (you can also use a normal grill).

Image
Take a clove of garlic and rub it against the crusty surface of the slices. If the slices have been properly grilled, the garlic will wear down in seconds, like you were rubbing it against sand paper.

Image
Add a generous amount of olive oil over the slices.

Image
Season with salt.

Image
Here is the fettunta and certainly you in for a treat.

Enjoy!
