Capers and Sun dried tomatoes Bruschetta


I have been home all day and i decided to create some new recipes, vegan still, and low fat...
I started reading "eat more, weight less" from Dean Ornish and I have to say that this guy is a genius.
I definitely recommend to anyone to read that book, it may help you save your life :)
And on top of that at the end of the book there are a bunch of delicious almost vegan low fat recipes.
Thing is that those recipes are kinda elaborated and either take time to make or need a LOT of different fresh ingredients to make them, and as a result its kinda expensive...
A pinch of this, a tablespoon of this, and a teaspoon of that etc ...

Here is a "easier but as tatsy recipe" from Dean Ornish book.

Making the topping ( for 18 pieces of bread )
6 sundried tomatoes cut in small pieces.
1 small fresh white onion ( or any kinda onion really - add as much as you like ) chopped
1 large or 2 small garlic cloves , chopped
1 ripe tomato, cut in small dices
3 tablespoons of capers
A little bit of dried :
-oregano, basil, thyme, or mixed dried or powdered herbs
salt and pepper o taste
1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar
A small loaf of whole wheat bread, sliced ( from the bakery rather than from publix ) and use 18 slices


Put the whole sundried tomatoes in boiling water for about 10 minutes
Rinse them with cold water and cut them in small pieces.
Add all the other ingredients to a bowl and let marinated for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.

Put each slice of bread, flat, add some dried herbs and bake at 375F* until crispy and golden
Take them out and top them with the mixture while the bread is still hot

A pure delight !
Ideal with a green salad for lunch or as appetizer when you have guests or family
They will certainly be impressed ! : )

Bon appetit !!!
