Bruschetta? You haz favorite recipe?

Not a recipe exactly, but a process, and it's pretty simple.

First, chop as many tomatoes as you want to use. Then mince some garlic to add to it. How much? Depends on how garlicky you want it. If I have pickled garlic around (which I do now from all the pickles I fermented) or roasted, then I use more. Raw garlic, I use less. You can always add more, so I'd start small.

Add salt. Again, I don't measure. Add some, stir in, let it sit (it will draw a lot of liquid out of the tomatoes) and taste. If it's not enough, add more. I also add nutritional yeast because it tastes so good, but it's also good without.

Pour in a bunch of olive oil.

Chiffonade a bunch of basil and stir it in.

Devour on toasted bread. Nom nom nom.
