Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves
- 0.5 small red onion
- 5 leaves basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 4 slices bread slices
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
Instructions
Begin by washing the ripe tomatoes and dicing them into small pieces.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Finely dice the red onion and set it aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic and red onion to the saucepan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until the onions become translucent.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Allow the mixture to simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 10-12 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Roughly chop the basil leaves and add them to the sauce during the last minute of cooking. Stir well and remove the saucepan from heat.
In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Once heated, place the bread slices in the pan and toast them for about 2 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Place the toasted bread on a serving plate. Spoon the warm tomato sauce generously over each slice.
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top of each slice to add a savory finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your toast with savory tomato sauce.
