Time 12m

Yield Serves 4 as a starter, or 2 as a light lunch

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices of sourdough bread
2 bulbs leftover roasted fennel, roughly sliced
A few sprigs fresh basil, leaves picked and chopped, smaller leaves reserved
1 fresh red chile, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lemon
Extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces/ 50 g Parmesan cheese
1 (1 1/2-ounces/ 125 g) ball buffalo mozzarella
1 clove garlic, unpeeled and halved

Steps:

  • Put your bread slices onto a hot griddle and toast on both sides. Add the fennel to a bowl with the chopped basil leaves and most of the chile. Squeeze in the lemon juice, add a good drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and a few shavings of Parmesan, then toss everything together. Have a quick taste to make sure the seasoning is right and add a bit more lemon juice or salt, if needed.
  • When the bread is nice and charred, rub the cut side of the garlic all over it. Drizzle with some extra-virgin olive oil then top with a small handful of your fennel mixture. Tear the mozzarella into quarters and place one on each bruschetta. Top with some thin shavings of Parmesan, a few little sprinkles of chile and the reserved basil. And just like that you've got a lovely lunch.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think I'll stick to my old standby bruschetta recipe.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bruschetta turned out soggy and bland.

I thought the bruschetta was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I was disappointed with the bruschetta. The bread was too hard and the toppings were not very flavorful.

The bruschetta was good, but I found the tomatoes to be a bit too acidic for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bruschetta was bland and tasteless. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
