  • 2 finely chopped anchovies
  • 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp of small rinsed capers
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp of finely shredded basil
  • 1 clove of garlic

Method

  1. To make bruschetta with Genius Bread, either simply cut sliced white bread diagonally across into large triangles or cut out large rounds from each slice with a pastry cutter.
  2. Toast or bake the prepared bread on a baking tray at 200’C/400’F for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. Grill 2 red peppers on all sides until the skin is blackened. Place in a bowl and cover with cling film and leave to steam for 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the cling film, and peel off the skin using a small, sharp knife. Core and deseed the skinned peppers and thinly slice.
  5. Place the pepper slices into a bowl, and mix in 2 finely chopped anchovies, a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and a teaspoon of small rinsed capers.
  6. Season with freshly ground black pepper, stir in a tablespoon of finely shredded basil and heap onto freshly grilled Genius bread, rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil.
