Extra virgin
olive oil
Salt and
freshly ground

enough to split and loosen the skin)

the sliced bread to
a golden brown on both sides.
- Take the
bread off the grill
and while it is still hot, rub one side of each slice with the garlic.
- Put the
bread on a platter,
garlicky side up, and pour a thin stream of olive oil over each slice,
enough to soak it lightly.

with salt and a
few grindings of pepper.

bread with prepared
diced tomatoes and sprinkle with basil.
Makes 6 to
12 servings.
