Method
How to make Bruschetta with hot cherry tomatoes
1) Heat about 30ml extra-virgin olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, saute for 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and hot chilli pepper flakes. Season with salt, to taste, and toss to coat in the oil.
2) Cover the pan, raise heat a bit and cook until the tomatoes burst, about for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the lid, squish any whole tomatoes with a wooden spoon and let the tomatoes thicken, about 1 minute.
3) Stir in the parsley, adjust the seasoning and remove from the heat.
4) Heat the broiler and char the bread on both sides. Arrange the bread on a platter and top with the hot tomatoes. Garnish with torn basil leaves and drizzle with the remaining extra-virgin olive oil before serving.
