Tomato, Olive & Caper Bruschetta with Anchovy
Mediterranean Flavor, Built on Great Ingredients 🍅🫒
Some recipes are all about restraint. A few ripe tomatoes, good bread, briny olives, salty capers, and a generous pour of exceptional olive oil. That's all you need!
This bruschetta takes inspiration from the Mediterranean table, where simple ingredients are allowed to shine. Damya Biodynamic Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil forms the foundation of the dish, mingling with sweet tomatoes and their juices to create a light dressing right on the plate. Finished with anchovy and fresh parsley, every bite delivers brightness, richness, and just the right amount of savory depth.
🛒 Ingredients
-
3 ripe tomatoes
-
½ cup pitted olives (mixed green and black), chopped
-
2 tbsp capers, drained
-
3 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
-
4 tbsp Damya Biodynamic Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
¼ tsp fine salt
-
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
-
4 anchovy fillets in oil
-
4 slices rustic country bread or sourdough
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the tomatoes
Finely chop the tomatoes into a small dice, or grate them for a looser texture. Set aside.
2. Chop the remaining ingredients
Roughly chop the olives and capers, then finely chop the parsley.
3. Create the base
Drizzle about half of the Damya Biodynamic Olive Oil across a wide serving plate in a generous swirl.
4. Layer the tomatoes
Spread the tomatoes evenly over the olive oil.
5. Add the flavor
Scatter the olives, capers, and parsley across the tomatoes.
6. Season and dress
Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle over the remaining olive oil. Gently fold everything together right on the plate, allowing the tomato juices and olive oil to mingle.
7. Toast the bread
Toast the bread until golden, crisp, and lightly charred around the edges.
8. Assemble and serve
Spoon a generous mound of the tomato mixture onto each slice of toast and finish with an anchovy fillet. Serve immediately.
✨ Serving Tip
Use the ripest tomatoes you can find. They are the heart of this recipe.
For extra depth, rub a peeled garlic clove over the warm toast before assembling. The heat from the bread will release just enough garlic aroma without overpowering the other ingredients. And because the anchovies and capers bring natural salinity, taste before adding additional salt.
🍽️ A Note from Our Kitchen
The beauty of this dish is in its simplicity. When ingredients are this good, there's nowhere to hide and no reason to. Sweet tomatoes, briny olives, and Damya Biodynamic Olive Oil do all the work.
Serve it as a light appetizer, alongside a chilled glass of wine, or as part of a larger mezze spread. And if you make it at home, we'd love to see it. Share your creation and tag @tastedamya on Instagram.
