How to make:

To make this you need roma tomatoes in a large bowl combine chopped up, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sugar, minced garlic and fresh basil. Now need to give a good stir and let it for 15 minutes or more but the longer the better to combine the flavors.
Cut up some French bread into 1 inch thick slice and then toast it. You can also grill them and get pretty grill marks on them .

There are multiple ways to mix this up:
  • Add grilled chicken or proscuitto to add protein and make a more substantial meal out of it.
  • Substitute shaved parmesan for melted fresh mozzarella. Or being super rebellious, add mozzarella in addition to the parmesan!
  • Add fresh onions or cilantro to the tomato mixture. Gives it an extra oomph!


Few tips:
  • When dicing tomatoes, remove seeds and juice from tomatoes so that the tomato mixture will not be overly “watery”.
  • Adjust the balsamic vinegar amount as necessary. You might need a little more, or even a little less. Adjust accordingly.
  • Salt is crucial in bringing out the flavor of the tomato mixture. Adjust salt content to taste.
  • When spreading tomato mixture onto French bread, get some of the juice from the mixture in there as well to get all the flavors!
