Ingredients

Bread, ideally freshly sliced

Garlic

Extravirgin Olive oil

Salt

Beans or tomatoes (optional)

Method

You will need 4 six-inch wide slices of Tuscan bread.

Toast them, over the coals if possible (though a toaster will work fine if need be) gently rub them with a cut clove of garlic (you don’t want to overwhelm the oil), then drizzle them with good olive oil.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, cut the slices in half, and serve.

Serves 4.
