My Grandpa's Italian Bruschetta Recipe

My grandpa was famous for his Italian Bruschetta Recipe. And with just 6 simple ingredients, it's so easy to remember. Get chopping!

[JustCallMeBo]

*Swap the olive oil for lime juice, and the parsley and basil for cilantro and BOOM. Pico de gallo*

[reinapaloma]

3 big tomatoes
1 Big red onion
Basil 1/2 cup
Parsley 1/2 cup
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp salt

Wait ... this is just like Pico de Gallo ? Soooo brusqueta is the Italian version of Mexican salsa?

In Italy bruschetta is usually only with tomato and the main reason we have it is to taste the new olive oil. We don’t use onions - you usually rub garlic on the toasted bread before adding the tomato and then add the oil when serving. The reason we don’t add onion is that it tends ti overpower the taste of the oil and tomato. That does not take away from this recipe.

Hmmm garlic would take this to the next level. Preferably roasted garlic rubbed onto the bread

I just love how finely chopped all those ingredients are! Idk why but it looks so satisfying lol

In my family we call that Pico De Gallo. I love that many different kinds of people have recipes that are the same yet different.

Nicee....we call this dish 'kachumbari' in Kenya 🇰🇪, a very common side dish and made with different variations by different communities but the red onions, tomatoes and parsley are constant in all variations.

Part of our family is italian and we've learned it the other way: bigger chunks of tomato, NO onions, but balsamico and enough garlic. Basil and parsley of course as well as a very good olive oil 🙏🏻🤤🥰

"Park his ass in a chair" made me lose it 😂

And it's vegan/vegetarian I'm growing all this stuff! As soon as my tomatoes are ripe I'm making this! Thank's

Glad you pronounced it correctly, so many people say brushetta

It looks delicious! And looks really similar to a typical sauce/salad that we put on bread in Chile 🇨🇱: Pebre 🤩. The main difference would be that we put cilantro instead of basil, and also lemon juice or white vinagre, pepper and chili. It’s delicious on Choripán.

Looks Yummo! Thanks for taking the blossom end out of the tomatoes! Nothing is worse than a tomato that leaves bits of brown core in the dish!

We call this a salad with bread . We eat it all the time 🤣

[marciapozo]

I’m from Ecuador South America we eat that almost everyday the only little difference is we put the juice of 1/2 lemon and the name is INCURTIDO. It’s delicious!!😋😋
