End of Summer Crostone

Ingredients:

  • 2 slices of whole sourdough bread
  • 2 ripe tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove
  • BABBO extra virgin olive oil
  • Maldon salt
  • Fresh basil
  • 2 nectarines
  • 4–6 anchovies in oil
  • Zest of ½ lemon

Method

  1. Heat a non-stick pan or grill and toast the bread slices until golden and crispy on the outside.

  2. Grate the tomatoes and collect the pulp in a bowl. Season with chopped garlic or rub garlic on the bread, drizzle with olive oil, add Maldon salt, and torn basil leaves.

  3. Cut the nectarines into even wedges and grill them in a pan without fat for 1–2 minutes per side, until lightly caramelized.

  4. Spread the tomato pulp on the toasted bread, add the grilled nectarine wedges and well-drained anchovies.

  5. Finish with grated lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of sweet nectarines, salty anchovies, and fresh tomato.
