Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 loaf french bread

or long, narrow italian bread, (1 to 2)

14 garlic cloves

1 cup pitted ripe olives

2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon capers -- drained

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 red tomato -- peeled, seeded, chopped

1 yellow tomato -- peeled, seeded, chopped

or another red tomatoes

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion tops

1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano leaves

or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

 

Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Cut bread on the diagonal into 24 (1/2-inch-thick)

slices. Peel and halve 12 garlic cloves. Run the cut side of each garlic half

over both sides of each piece of bread. Place the bread slices in one layer on

baking sheets. Bake 5 minutes, turning once, or until crisp and lightly toasted.

Allow to cool.

 

Peel and coarsely chop the remaining 2 garlic cloves. Combine chopped garlic,

olives, vinegar, capers and oil in a blender or food processor. Process until

nearly smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container as necessary.

Set aside.

 

Combine chopped tomatoes, green onions, basil, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper

in a small bowl.

 

To assemble, spread each toasted bread slice with some of the olive mixture.

Divide tomato mixture among the bread slices. Arrange slices on baking sheets

and bake 2 to 3 minutes, or until the toppings are heated through.
