  • Author: caroline
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pieces 1x

Description

A unique take on the traditional dish – this artichoke bruschetta gives the authentic fresh tomato, garlic, onion and basil combo a fresh update with vibrant artichoke hearts and ribboned parmesan.

The default recipe makes 8 pieces of bruschetta

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 artichoke hearts – either tinned in water or marinated in oil. Cut into half and then slice off the bottom of the stem to release the layers – and then cut each half into 3 pieces
  • 2 large tomatoes, deseeded and then diced into small pieces
  • 1/4 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped in half widthways
  • 8 leaves fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 10g / 0.3oz parmesan, sliced into thin slices using a speed peeler
  • 8 thin slices of baguette or ciabatta

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F. Place the garlic on a baking tray and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix together the artichoke, tomatoes and onion in a bowl. Tear in the basil leaves. Mix together with the olive oil and then season to taste.
  3. Place the sliced bread on the baking tray with the garlic and drizzle with olive oil. Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes until browned. Alternatively, you can toast the bread on a griddle pan, pressing down to get those lovely grill marks).
  4. Rub the bread with the garlic pieces. It will be hot so watch your fingers! 
  5. Top the bread with the bruschetta mix and then place the parmesan pieces on top. Optional: serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top. 

Notes

  • If you are using artichoke hearts which have been marinated in oil you may want to reduce the amount of olive oil. Add slowly and stir between each addition to judge the right amount. You want the mixture to bind together but not be swimming. 
  • Serve with a little balsamic glaze drizzled over the top for extra appeal and taste
