Tomato and Olive Crostini
Crostini make a fantastic light meal but they can also be used as a starter for a main meal. You can add any toppings you like but tomatoes, basil and olives are very simple and straightforward as well as being very healthy foods. I sometimes add a swirl of olive oil just before serving for a real Italian touch! Finish with plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
4 slices crusty bread
1 clove garlic
4 medium tomatoes
fresh basil leaves
8 black olives
freshly ground black pepper
Slice the tomatoes and put under a hot grill for a few minutes, turning once. Peel the garlic and cut into half. Toast the bread, then rub with the cut clove of garlic. Arrange the tomatoes on the toasted bread. Tear the basil leaves then put the basil and olives on top of the crostini. Add some freshly ground black pepper.
