Bruschetta & Insalata Caprese

Maybe because half of our native food is influenced by the Spaniards which has the same elements as the Italians, it is not surprising that majority of us love, love, love anything Italian.... or... it could be like everyone else in the world... "who doesn't like Italian food?" Pizza, pasta, insalata and everything fresh.

Italians normally have the colours of their flag in their traditional food, green, white and red and I gotta say, the combo works.

Caprese is a simple salad made of:
Buffalo Mozarella
Tomatoes
Pesto (store bought or freshly made)
Basil (optional)
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil

Slice mozarella an tomatoes with the same thickness. Alternately placed them on a small dish. Drizzle vinegar and olive oil on top of the cheese and tomatoes. Add few pesto and fresh basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper and you're ready to eat!

Bruschetta is the Italian version of Crostini. Made of:
French Bread
Tomatoes
Basil
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Parmegiano Regiano

Chop tomatoes and basil, set aside. Slice your bread to the thickness you like, bake it at 275F-300F until crisp enough. Place your crisp bread on your serving plate, top it with chopped tomatoes and basil, drizzle with oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and a generous shavings of parmesan cheese. If you want this for brunch, you can add poached egg on top of it or cold cuts such as salami, turkey ham or anything you feel like munching with this crisp bread.

Yum! Happy Eating!

    I'm No Chef but I love food like it's no one's business.

    I didn't know anything about cooking... frying an egg used to be a nightmare.. until I was forced to learn more... I had my first born... that's when my gastronomic journey started...

    Join me in my food quest.
    Laugh at my embarrassing moments.
    Share my triumphs.

    And if you're brave enough ... cook with me (ooooh scary!), virtually that is, and have the most enjoyable time!

    Welcome aboard
    fellow foodies!
