Tonia George's Olive Oil & Rosemary Bruschetta

A bruschetta is a large piece of toast, topped with ingredients. The bread should resemble typical Pugliese bread, a rustic bread that will give an abrasive surface to rub garlic against.

   Place a griddle pan over a high flame or light a barbecue well in advance. Once the griddle pan is smoking hot, or the barbecue's coals are glowing an ashen grey, pop the bread on and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side, until charred in places and crisp all over.
   
   Turn over and cook until the other side matches.
   
   Take off the heat and rub with the cut side of the garlic cloves while still warm and press the sprig of rosemary against the surface of the bread, rubbing it to release its flavour.
   
   Drizzle with the olive oil and season. Eat immediately or the bread will become soggy.
