Nectarine Bruschetta
I love this recipe I came up with a few weeks ago. I was hosting our book club meeting and I was trying to come up with a menu. I wanted to make few summer dishes and bruschetta came to mind. When we were in Spello, Italy last year, we had a lot of different kinds of bruschetta- not the usual tomato one. I love the original but it is great to come up with something different.
I decided to use nectarines instead of tomatoes. I cut them up, added garlic, basil, salt and extra virgin olive oil. That is all- I mixed everything together and let it sit for a while. The nectarine pieces became a bit soft and married with the rest of the flavors.
I bought olive bread as well as raisin walnut bread. I thought both would go really well with the marinated nectarines. I sliced and toasted the bread.
I placed the nectarine mixture in a bowl. I then placed the sliced bread, a bowl of olives and sliced feta cheese. Everyone assembled their own bruschetta. It was all delicious.
This is a perfect appetizer to serve at a party or for a simple supper…
