The tomato is one of the most used ingredients for chefs and home cooks alike. This Italian recipe of bruschetta is a very popular dish made all around the world. There are so many versions of bruschetta. But for me this traditional Italian recipe of brushetta is my favorite. You can be as creative as you wish and perhaps adding some Mediterranean flare will give it a whole new look at taste for you. Remember, The Social Chef philosophy on cooking is…there are no rules in the kitchen. So try adding artichoke hearts, capers, olives or anything else that fits your palate. And who said it has to be on bread, try it over pasta or on top of a portobello and grill it. Go ahead…break the rules.
