Not just because it's a true story about how a women gets her life together through the aid of a cooking master and a blog, but because the food looks beautiful. I especially like the Bruschetta that Julia makes while she and her husband decide she should start a blog. It's so vibrant and looks so yummy I had a craving to make it while watching the film just before the easter weekend.
Mummy and I met up for an afternoon of shopping at the Queen Vic market; in preparation for the long weekend festivities in the country, so I decided to get supplies for bruschetta!
Shopping bag:
2 fresh firm tomatoes - diced (yellow or black tomatoes as well if you want!)
4 cherry or baby roma tomatoes - halved
1/2 small yellow capsicum (for color)
1/2 small red onion - thinly diced
bunch basil leaves
lake salt flakes and pepper to taste
good olive oil
crusty white loaf sliced into 4 thick pieces
sprinkling parmesan.
(serves 2)
Preparation.
Combine all ingredients (sans bread and butter). I like to use a good sprinkling of salt and olive oil, but it's really up to you how much you want to use - the salt and oil mixture combined with onion juice soaked into the bread and tomatoes is so yummy and absolutely addictive!
In a heavy pan, melt plenty of butter (I never said this was healthy). Once melted and bubbling nicely coat one side of the bread with the melted butter and then turn over to coat the remaining butter onto the other side of the bread. Over a low-medium heat toast each side of the bread until golden-brown and crunchy. Continue until all servings are done, making sure to wipe excess butter out of pan each time so that the butter doesn't burn - it looks yucky on the bread!
Scoop a nice helping of tomato mixture on top each slice of bread.
Dinner is served and amazing!
