Ingredients
24 slices (1 cm/1/2-inch thick) Italian bread (340 g/12 oz total)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
30 mL (2 tbsp) olive oil
681 g (1 1/2 lbs) plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
75 mL (1/3 cup) chopped fresh basil
15 mL (1 tbsp) no-salt-added tomato paste
3 mL (3/4 tsp) salt
2 mL (1/2 tsp) grated orange zest
1 mL (1/4 tsp) pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Rub the bread with one of the halved garlic cloves. Brush the bread with 15 mL (1 tbsp) of the oil and bake for 7 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. In a small pan of boiling water, cook the 2 remaining garlic cloves for 3 minutes to blanch. Finely chop.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped garlic, tomatoes, basil, tomato paste, salt, orange zest, pepper, and remaining 15 mL (1 tbsp) oil. Spoon on top of the toasted garlic bread.
Serves 4.
