- 1 1/2 lbs ripe plum tomatoes (about 8-10)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

- 5 on broil, toast bread on both sides until golden.
- 6 quickly brush one side of each slice with remaining olive oil.
- 7 spoon tomato mixture on top& serve.
- 8 note: my husband usually makes this and i believe he uses the drained liquid to brush the bread rather than the olive oil.
- 9 also we have made this using dried basil instead of fresh (1 tablespoons fresh= 1 teaspoons dried) and although it does not call for it in the recipe we also use some fresh parsley.
