Ingredients

12 - Cherry Tomatoes halved
4 slice Crusty Bread
150 ml Olive Oil
1 - Red Onion diced finely
1 - Red Pepper diced finely
1 tbsp SuperValu Fresh Basil
3 cloves SuperValu Garlic diced finely

Method

Heat a medium sized pan with a ½ teaspoon olive oil and add the diced garlic, red onion and red pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes until just beginning to soften.
Next add in the halved tomatoes and cook for a further minute or two.
Transfer all the ingredients into a small bowl and allow to cool down.
When the mixture has cooled down add in the chopped spring onions, parsley and olive oil and mix well. Season lightly with a little salt and pepper.
Meanwhile heat a large griddle pan until smoking hot. Use a little of the olive oil to brush each side of crusty bread and char grill on each side until the bread is toasted.
Place the grilled bread on a serving plate and top with the tomato based topping.
