EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

No fresh tomatoes? Use 1 1/2 cups Progresso® fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained, instead.

Pronounced “broo-SHEH-TAH” and meaning "to roast over coals," bruschetta is a traditional Italian garlic bread that's drizzled with olive oil.

Coarsely chop capers to release their flavor-rich juices. Just give them a whack with the side of a chef’s knife before adding them to the tomato mixture.

I LOVE this recipe! I use 3 Roma tomatoes, finely chop mined garlic, add a little bit more fresh basil and chop up the capers. I add some of the olive oil (previous review is right the better the oil the better the taste...NO VEGETABLE OIL!!!). I first followed the recipe and did the toast, but we like to let the flavors blend overnight, mix it up and eat it on saltine crackers.Easy, healthy snack.
