Tomato Bruschetta

This simple but flavourful classic Italian appetiser is a must for a successful aperitivo. The recipe comes from Peter Friese of Vienna's Bar Campari.

Ingredients
ciabatta with sun-dried tomato, sliced
6 slices Prosciutto di San Daniele (optional)
500 g ripe tomatoes
1 bunch basil
1 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch(es) fleur de sel

Preparation:

  • First make a tomato concasse: remove the skins and seeds and cut the tomato flesh into small cubes. A tip from Peter: "Don't scald them to free them from the skin, rather work with raw tomatoes and a knife".
  • Put the prepared tomato flesh into a bowl as you work, then drizzle with olive oil andseason with a little fleur de sel.
  • Toast or grill the ciabatta slices until crisp.
  • Spoon the tomato concasse onto the ciabatta slices. 
  • Top with very thinly sliced Prosciutto San Daniele, if you like, and scatter over basil leaves to serve.
