Ingredients

For the toasted bread

• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 2 slices ciabatta bread
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 1 clove garlic, peeled and halved

For the tomato topping

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 vine tomatoes, de-seeded and chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 6 basil leaves, torn
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. For the toasted bread, drizzle the oil over the ciabatta and sprinkle over the salt. Heat a griddle pan until smoking and chargrill the bread for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown and toasted. Remove from the pan and rub each slice of toast with the cut-side of half a garlic clove.

2. For the tomato topping, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. To serve, pile the tomato mixture on top of the toasted bread.
