Peach Bruschetta with Basil Olive Oil

Peach Bruschetta with Basil Olive Oil

Save Recipe
Print
Ingredients
  1. 6 or 7 ripe tomatoes (about 1 1/2 lbs)
  2. 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
  3. 1 Tbsp Olivia's Basil Olive Oil
  4. 1 teaspoon Olivia's Peach White Balsamic
  5. 1 teaspoon kosher salt, more or less to taste
  6. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, more or less to taste
  7. 1 baguette French bread or similar Italian bread
  8. 1/4 cup (60 ml) Olivia's Basil Olive Oil
Instructions
  1. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil.
  2. As the water is heating make shallow cuts in a cross pattern at the tip ends of the tomatoes (this will make the tomatoes easier to peel).
  3. Once the water is boiling, remove the pot from the heat.
  4. Put the tomatoes in the hot water and blanch for 1 minute.
  5. Remove with a slotted spoon and let sit until cool enough to handle.
  6. Then gently peel off the tomato skins. Cut out the stem base with a paring knife.
  7. Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters and squeeze out most of the juices and seeds.
  8. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) with a rack in the top slot of the oven.
  9. Finely chop tomatoes, toss them with garlic, Basil Olive Oil, Peach Balsamic and salt and pepper.
Baguette
  1. Use a bread knife to slice the baguette on the diagonal making half-inch thick slices.
  2. Brush one side of each slice with Basil Olive Oil (a pastry brush helps here) and place olive oil-side down on a baking sheet or roasting pan.
  3. The baguette slices will toast best in the top rack of your oven, so you may need to work in batches to toast them all.
  4. When the oven has reached 450°F (230°C) place the slices in the oven on the top rack and toast for 5 to 6 minutes until lightly browned around the edges.
  5. Serve toasted bread with tomato mixture: Arrange the toasted bread on a platter, olive oil side facing up (the olive oil will help create a temporary barrier keeping the bread from getting soggy from the chopped tomatoes).
  6. Use a spoon to gently top each toasted bread slice with some of the tomato mixture. If you top each slice individually, do it right before serving.
  7. Drizzle with Peach White Balsamic before serving.

Cook Time
4 hr
Total Time
4 hr 5 min
Ingredients
  1. 3 lbs chuck or round roast beef (or any similar beef cut suitable for slow roasting)
For the Sauce
  1. ½ cup Olivia's Fig Balsamic
  2. 1 cup water
  3. 3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  4. 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  5. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 tbsp. honey
  7. ½ tsp. ground black pepper (optional)
  8. 1 tsp. chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees C (320 F)
  2. Place the beef in a large roasting dish, preferably one that has a lid. (you can use foil if it doesn’t have a lid).
  3. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce well in a bowl, then pour over the beef. Cover the dish and cook in the oven for 3-3½ hours, covered.
  4. After 3 hours, remove the dish from the oven. The meat will have shrunk a bit and there will probably be a good amount of fat on the surface of the sauce. Skim off as much fat as you can off the liquid.
  5. Using two forks, shred the beef as finely as you like, removing any excess fatty bits and spread out onto the bottom of the dish to soak up all the sauce.
  6. Return the dish to the oven, and roast for a further 30-40 minutes, this time uncovered, until darkened and the sauce is reduced slightly.
  7. Serve on rolls as an appetizer or an entree.
Notes
  1. Serve with potatoes, rice or in sandwiches. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days, or in the freezer for 3 months.
