This is a classic Italian appetizer featuring fresh, ripe tomatoes, basil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar served on grilled bread. The key to this simple yet elegant dish is using high-quality ingredients and seasoning every layer to build a robust and delicious flavor.
Prepare the tomatoes. Slice them and remove the inner pulp and seeds to prevent the mixture from getting soupy. Then, dice the tomato flesh.
In a mixing bowl, grate one clove of garlic. Add a generous amount of good balsamic vinegar and stir. This helps to mellow the raw garlic flavor.
Add the diced tomatoes to the bowl. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Stack the fresh basil leaves, roll them tightly, and thinly slice them into ribbons (a technique called chiffonade). Add the basil to the tomato mixture.
Gently stir everything together. Set aside to marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
The correct Italian pronunciation is 'brus-KET-ta'.
Using ripe, in-season tomatoes is essential for the best flavor.
It is important to season at every stage of the recipe—both the tomato mixture and the bread—to build a deep, layered flavor.
Use regular olive oil for grilling the bread, as extra virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point and is best used in cold preparations.
The finishing sprinkle of Maldon salt adds a pleasant crunch and texture, so don't skip it if you can.
