Hopped-Up Bruschetta
Bruschetta topped with a fresh tomato mixture flavored with unique hop flowers or basil flowers for a slightly bitter, herbaceous note.
Instructions
-
Mince and mash the garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt.
-
Combine garlic paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt, the tomato, onion, oil, hop flowers, and pepper.
-
Top the toasts with the tomato mixture and serve immediately.
Notes
If you have trouble finding fresh hops, basil flowers make a worthy substitute. Once the basil plant has gone to flower, its pungency increases and its herbaceousness becomes slightly bitter and hoplike.
