Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients.To prepare bruschetta with tomatoes and avocado, we will need a wheat baguette, a medium-sized ripe avocado, a tomato, fresh basil, lemon juice, olive oil, ground black pepper and salt.
Step 2:
Cut the baguette into slices about 1.5 cm thick .
Step 3:
Dry the bread in a dry pan on both sides until golden brown. You can also dry the bread in the toaster.
Step 4:
Wash tomatoes, dry and cut into small pieces. At the same time, it is advisable to remove the core with seeds from the tomatoes so that the filling does not get too wet and does not soak the bread.
Step 5:
Wash, dry and finely chop the basil.
Step 6:
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the stone, then peel. It is better to adhere to this order: first remove the bone, and then clean it. Because if you first peel the fruit, it will become too slippery and when you try to remove the stone, you can cut yourself. Cut the avocado into small cubes. Immediately sprinkle it with lemon juice so that it does not darken.
Step 7:
Combine tomatoes, avocado, basil in a salad bowl. Add salt, pepper, pour olive oil and mix gently. Put the vegetable mixture on the dried baguette pieces and serve to the table.
Bruschetta — a classic snack originally from sunny Italy, which is a slice of dried bread, dried or toasted in butter until light and crisp. And then you can experiment: spread on bread, for example, chopped ripe fresh or dried tomatoes with fresh basil, or roast beef, cheese and olives... The filling can be very diverse.
Bruschettas are referred to as antipasto dishes. This is not a movement against another famous Italian dish - pasta, as many people think. Translated from Italian, antipasto comes from the words from anti « to» + pasta «food ». That is, what is served before the main dishes, in Russian speaking, is an appetizer.
For bruschetta, you can use wheat or rye baguette. If there is no baguette, it does not matter. A regular loaf, cut into narrow slices, will do.
