It's
a sunny morning here in Copenhagen for a change, but we have a little
chore to do before we can go out. We need to move our stuff out from
the loft room to the new basement storage, as the new house owners
will expand the loft to apartments. Luckily we don't have so much
stuff up there, just some mainly empty moving boxes. But I will miss
the cosy wooden hideaway, which is a proper room with a view over the
rooftops. It will be more handy to have the stuff in the basement
though, as we live on the first floor. Otherwise I don't have any
plans for today, but will go for a walk at least, as the weather is
nice.
I
made these tomato-olive and plain olive bruschettas yesterday for
brunch and they went down very well. They were topped with garlic,
olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, wild garlic, mozzarella and
either just green olives or green olives and cherry tomatoes. I
bought the bread to a reduced price, as I went to the supermarket in
the evening. That's such a handy way to save money and still get
fresh bread from the day.

The worldwide interpretations of the Italian traditions of bruschetta are fascinating. Its origin was before the adoption of tomatoes into Italian cuisine. Like yours, it originally was a simple way to use stale bread: toast with garlic and olive oil. At the extreme, I've seen a chopped tomato salad without any bread that was labeled "bruschetta" and that's now an accepted version.
ReplyDeleteYours look really delicious!

Oh my they look every so good. Hope the shifting of boxes from one place to the other went smoothly too.
