Notes from Rouba

For the tastiest bruschetta, use tomatoes that are ripe and juicy. Trust me, it makes all the difference!
Tomatoes are bursting with flavour when they’re served at room temperature. Don’t believe me? Give it a try and you’ll see!
Get a nice, smoky flavour by charring your sourdough bread on a grill or in a pan.
Rub some fresh garlic onto the warm bread to add a delicious savoury kick.
Top off your bruschetta with a few fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. So simple! yet so delicious!
