bruschetta

[shanx]

I am having eight for dinner on saturday,and thought i would make lasagne with salad i need some nibbles to start so i bought some bruschetta but stuck for toppingsand would like some sugestions,think cheese or tomatoe would be too much,or sugestions what other things you think would go with the meal.THANKS

The classic is VERY fresh tomatoes-finely diced and mixed with good olive oil,finely minced garlic and basil. This is not heavey at all. Also-instead of buying bruschetta-get a good french stick and cut 1/4" slices on the diagonal-toast these under the grill and then load your topping on. You could akso try sauteed garlicky mushrooms or black olive tapenade. In fact-the hell with the lasagne and just have a meal of bruschetta and salad!!-yum!

we put a homemade gaucamole on them (avacado, tomato, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, salt pepper, all mashed up), thats delish and everyone goes made for that.
you could just peel a garlic clove and rub it (quite hard) all over the bread, thats nice too.
