In Italy bruschetta is usually only with tomato and the main reason we have it is to taste the new olive oil. We don’t use onions - you usually rub garlic on the toasted bread before adding the tomato and then add the oil when serving. The reason we don’t add onion is that it tends ti overpower the taste of the oil and tomato. That does not take away from this recipe.
family recipe* family recipe* family recipe*. italy is not a monolith. and italian americans are not a monolith either. when i went to italy, there were a multitude of ways to do one thing, so i’m always suspect of italians who speak for their whole nation. we have tons of common ways to do things here but it doesn’t mean that families and individuals don’t put a spin on it.
@@fairygodbrotherr I'm suspect of any italian who isn't yelling that bruschetta has nothing to do with what is on top of the toasted bread. The toasted bread is literally what bruschetta is. My source is the amount of actual italians from italy I have already heard raise hell about this.
@@fairygodbrotherr haha so true ^^. Our cuisine often changes every few kilometers, for example here in Tuscany the summer recipe called Panzanella is widespread ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YRDP6m3Pakc.html in the south another recipe is widespread made with a special type of bread (baked twice) called Frisella ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nRbMwwduP-o.html&ab_channel=PiovonoRicette
Part of our family is italian and we've learned it the other way: bigger chunks of tomato, NO onions, but balsamico and enough garlic. Basil and parsley of course as well as a very good olive oil 🙏🏻🤤🥰
Nicee....we call this dish 'kachumbari' in Kenya 🇰🇪,a very common side dish and made with different variations by different communities but the red onions, tomatoes and parsley are constant in all variations.
@ LM I have been to Italy and there are lots and lots of people who don't speak English. Older people and people living in small towns couldn't care less about Americans.
@@pamelasonday-swiger8708 obviously, not everyone in the world speaks English, and most dont care abt Americans bc we act like fn morons. But ur comment made no sense either way.
@@redfish2229 It was meant to be a gentle poke at LM's first message, about bruschetta being called salad and bread here in the U.S. I don't think Italians care what we call it. It's bruschetta to them...nuff said.
I am italian and never saw bruschetta made it this way anywhere in Italy. I saw bread toasted and then a piece of garlic rubbed on top, put olive oil and salt only or diced tomatoes with basil too on top.
@@SG-ji2xk it’s not that hard to learn words the correct way (if you want to) just search for the word in the italian google translate and let the bot read it for you
Italian Brusqueta 3 Big Tomatoes I Red Onion A half a cup of Parsley & Half cup of Basil 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil 1 Tablespoon of Salt Chop very finely....serve with seasoned Toasted 🍞 bread.
@@giannanebbia genius. Can't wait to try it and watch it over and over because. Yes, I am one of those people who doesn't write recipes down unless it's embedded into my brain. So thank you for the upload 🙏🏼
It looks delicious! And looks really similar to a typical sauce/salad that we put on bread in Chile 🇨🇱: Pebre 🤩. The main difference would be that we put cilantro instead of basil, and also lemon juice or white vinagre, pepper and chili. It’s delicious on Choripán.
I’m from Ecuador South America we eat that almost everyday the only little difference is we put the juice of 1/2 lemon and the name is INCURTIDO. It’s delicious!!😋😋
Wow! That looks very delicious 😋😍😊 thank you. My Uncle is Italian 🙂⚘take care and thank you and your family. Family means so much to me, God bless you and all your family ⚘💖🙏
Thank you wholeheartedly for taking the time to pronounce this right! Are you from Italian descent? It's amazing when people actually care to represent Italian culture and cuisine with the respect it deserves.
@Silvia C I'm of Indian descent and it annoys me when I pronounce "Bruschetta" correctly yet a non-Italian waiter or waitress at a restaurant decides to rudely "correct me" because obviously I must be wrong! It's the same with "Prosecco".
I have a bunch of Italian friends that I adore but the best pesto I ever had was made by my Scottish grandpa. He was the coolest person ever and I miss him so much. He had so much respect for different food cultures.
My late grandmother would chop her veggies while seated at her kitchen table as well. She made sure we were helping as well. She said it made it easier to chat and chop.
Looks yummy!! Just fyi bruschetta is toasted Italian bread with olive oil. The tomato mixture is not bruschetta. Love that you pronounced it correctly though! Will def be giving this a try!
Pico de gallo typically has jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, and cilantro. The combination of ingredients in the video is common in many cuisines. Her only real "secret" was the ratios.
Americans are so funny, even the Italian ones have gotten confused judging by this video. Bruschetta is actually the toasted bread with garlic and olive oil, topped with the salsa like mixture. You guys call the salsa like mixture Bruschetta So weird
Maybe you just don’t understand because I’m pretty sure we understand that it’s the bread with the salsa mixture. People are just so quick to downgrade America and think your so smart when it seems like everyone is on the same page. Your actually slow because you had to break it down for yourself to make sure everyone understood do the world a favor and go be a teacher.
@@suezannwhite2738 yes Ive got garlic it's from Spain I purchased from whole foods they have some really good groceries. It's tough just finding decent groceries walfart is just a joke if you want to call them groceries thier fruit sucks bought some peaches they were to hard to eat not ripe enough, so waited a couple of days then they were so mushy they were rotten. I also bought a bag of pears they looked great in the store cause I opened the bag and looked the very next day they were rotten bruised way past eating was so pissed. So now I go to whole foods more expensive but worth the money. The oranges taste like oranges not sour tart nice n sweet. I found a few orchards I'm going to check out for fruit if they are better ill start.going there
Technically bruschetta is a type of antipasto that has always a base of toasted pane casereccio, traditionally rubbed with garlic. The classic is topped with fresh tomato, basil, some origano and olive oil. Raw onions are not so common in italian cuisine, they are usually mixed with Tuna. You can make your bruschetta with many types of combinations. My favorite is with some burrata, ruccola and chopped walnuts. But other ideas could be : sausages and stracchino, with peperonata (pickled bell peppers), with tuna and onions, or pesto, or even tomato and mozzarella. The options are endless, and I love this type of pico de gallo bruschetta😊… even though is not a true italian combo, looks GREAT… Avocado could be awesome on it too.
