I made the most amazing and simple dinner last night that was so delicious, fresh, appetizing, and also healthy!
Pasta with Freshly Made Pesto
Panzanella (beefsteak tomatoes, cucumbers, black olives, sweet onions, basil, crusty rolls, vinaigrette with garden herbs)
Tuna Bruschetta
I used a new technique for the bruschetta. I mixed up a tuna topping consisting of Albacore White Tuna packed in olive oil, minced onion, gherkin, and capers, basil, rosemary, thyme, and shredded mozzarella.
Then I put brushed the slices of bread (I used whole grain baguette) with olive oil and pan grilled them. When they were about ready to turn, I lifted them up and scattered minced garlic under the toasts and grilled for 1 more minute.
Flip the bruschetta slices, scrape up any stray garlic and place on the toast. Mound the Tuna-Mozzarella topping on the toast, turn heat to low, cover, and continue to grill until the cheese melts into unctuous gooey wonderfulness, and the bottoms are crispy golden brown. Voila: Italian Garlic Tuna Melt!
These tuna bruschetta were out of this world and a great accompaniment to the pasta alla pesto!
