Bruschetta is a typical appetizer of Italian cuisine, originating from the Lazio region. It consists of country bread toasted and rubbed with garlic, dressed with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and black peppercorns. It is simple to prepare and can be customized with the addition of fresh tomatoes, basil or cheese. Bruschetta is perfect as a light snack before a meal.
Toast the slices of country bread on both sides on a grill or in a toaster
Rub them thoroughly with the garlic cloves that you have previously crushed, then sprinkle with salt, freshly ground pepper and fragrant olive oil
The oil should be virgin or extra virgin: only the 'soma d'aj' Piedmontese bruschetta requires a mild-tasting oil
If desired, you can enrich this tasty snack with sliced tomatoes seasoned with a little chopped basil and a pinch of oregano
Wine: Orvieto secco (Lazio)
