It’s good to eat with the seasons, but occasionally I want a touch of summer year-round – that’s when I call on a few of my favourite things and create this delicious bruschetta Caprese. Windy Hills Farm pots of living basil are the perfect way to use this summer herb year-round, Vannella’s small buffalo bocconcini are just the right size and Mutti’s canned cherry tomatoes are so plump and firm they taste like fresh ones, except juicier. Serve on bright Italian ceramics with a glass of Prosecco, like the lovely rosé one from Tenuta Sant’ Anna, and be transported to a summer holiday on Italy’s beautiful Amalfi coast. If you have plenty of basil, make some pesto alla Genovese to pop in the fridge and add a touch of summer to everything (see video below)!
Makes 6 pieces
You’ll need about half a can of cherry tomatoes for this recipe, so toss the rest through some pasta for dinner with more of that basil and keep the summer feeling alive.
