I am a huge fan of tennis and Rafa’s!! ๐ who ever enjoys tennis would know who he his..:), I played tennis most of my life and would have continued to play if I wasn’t hit by a car a couple of years ago…but that’s another story and I won’t go into that now, I am fine no issues with my arm I just can’t play anymore.
Anyway, once the tennis season starts I am in front of the tv rooting for Rafa, and I kind of really get involved in the whole match by jumping when Rafa wins and maybe a bit of yelling after all I am a fan.ย ย hahaha ๐ ๐ ๐ย Since the season has started I enjoy making appetisers to eat while I am watching the match or matches. I do enjoy watching other tennis players like Federer, Dimitrov Murray, Wawrinka, Tsonga Goffin, F. Fognini, Baghatis and many more.
So, this is one appetiser that I enjoy making, the combination of the sun dried tomatoes with olive oil, soooo yummy and one more appetiser which I will post later Oven Baked Feta Cheese.ย ๐ย Both delicious and quick I hope you enjoy this recipe ๐

BRUSCHETTA WITH SUN DRIED TOMATOES
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 2 Garlic Cloves optional
- 150 grams of Sun Dried Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of Oregano
- Salt
- Sugar a pinch
Instructions
- Add tomatoes into a multi blender or a hand grind.
- Continue by adding the salt, sugar and 1 tablespoon of oregano.
- Add in half of the olive oil, garlic. Since I am not a fan of garlic I added garlic for the others who enjoy eating garlic.
- Cut a nice piece of bread homemade if possible ๐ warm out of the oven add olive oil, tomato paste and top off with the rest of the oregano.
Looks delicious, Sophie! I love bruchetta and watching tennis… Oujeee. Great appetizer for Australian Open! ๐
Your a fan of tennis Vero!!!!!!!! Ben is with Novak how about you?
Haha, I am on the same side as Ben, for me it’s Novak! ๐๐ and yes, u am fan… Czech girls are pretty good ๐
Novak!!!!!! no way Vero hahahhaa. Well, that’s ok we all have our favorites..Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, Billy Jean King were the three tennis players I watched growing up in the states….Martina I have no words…She is and will always be for me one the best woman’s tennis player along with the other two ladies. Now, I don’t really watch women’s tennis more men ๐ ..but I do like Halep ๐ sorry ๐
Hahaha ๐ yes, Novak ๐ To be honest, I watch more men as well than women. Women… Just because Czech can be pretty good ๐๐ We should watch a match together! ๐๐
We should be when and where and most importantnly HOW uffff ๐
๐ lot of plans to make then ๐ <3
Hmmm probably ๐ Maybe Wimbledon 2018?
That is great idea! ๐
Sounds good ๐ Ok will see how we can make this work….:) Sorry about Novak out of Australian Open…
We can even go here and be part of it
๐๐
That does sound great…I just have to see how I am going to do this…:) But if there is a rivalry between Rafa and Novak we each can scream for our favorite ok? hahahhaha
And there goes Rafa he’s out too ๐
Sounds delicious! Beautiful share Sophie.

Thank you Bennnnn I forgot to mention it before
Looks great Sophie ๐
Thank youuuuuu!!! ๐
To be honest: I’m no tennis-fan. But I’m definitely a bruschetta-fan. And the dried tomatoes are a great alternative for the winter, when the tomatoes you get taste like water ๐ Thanks for sharing, Sophie!
ahahha that’s ok if your not a fan…but nice to know you enjoy bruschetta. ๐ I know I know…if you buy tomatoes and you have sunshine cut them in slices and leave them out near the sun Karin…they turn out wonderfully dry. ๐
Thank you, Sophie ๐
๐ your welcome
Oh thank you so much!!! ๐
Bruschetta is one of my favourites! I have a recipe but yours sounds much, much, better. I got a Japanese pestle and mortar for Christmas so I am going to love using it to make this! Thank you for sharing it with us :):)
Ohhhh I would love to see the Japanese pestle and mortar…:) Enjoy Margaret and thank you again. ๐
one of the days, I am doing a post about a day of eating out with hubby. By “one of these days” I mean when my head is clear enough to download pictures from my phone to my computer hahaha. If I can remember I will snap a picture of my pestle, and mortar, and post it with that post :):) just for you :):)
Awww thank you ๐
Don’t thank me yet hehehe. The way my mind has been lately, I might forget. OH if I do, you can always drop a comment that simply reads “pestle, and mortar” that will remind me, I’ll edit it, and add them ;);) It’s that or I’ll have to pin a note to my clothes until I do the post heheheheehe :):)
Love the tennis!!!! I would love to go the Australian Open this year, but life gets so busy. Hopefully I can ๐ Your appetizers sound delicious!!
Love bruschetta . This is delicious.
I have had the tennis channel on since early this morning, watching third round action! Also this weekend, NFL playoffs. I will be parked in front of the tv all three days!! Good thing since my body needs a break from all the activity last week. Your bruschetta is on the list of goodies to eat while cheering on Rafa ๐
Deeeee deee so gosh do I miss you!!! I am glad your going to rest this weekend ๐ I don’t have tennis channel had to stop it so I can only watch the highlights on youtube ๐ Enjoy the Bruscetta, will upload oven baked feta cheese which is absolutely delicious Dee dee ๐
oooh, please do post that one!
I will ๐
Love this combination… when I was in Valenzia, the first tapas I tried were very similar ๐
Me too…:)
Looks like a yummy snack! Love bruschetta!๐
Thank you Ursula ๐ How are you?
I’m doing pretty well, keep on having problems with my wrist, sigh, I’m using a wrist brace for certain work, that has been helping a lot. How are you doing? ๐๐ค
Aww Ursuala is it Tendonites? I know the wrist is an issue…When I was working a few yrs ago as a sec….on the computer non stop for 8 hrs my wrist gave way and had to use a wrist brace….This takes time to pass….rest it as often as you can. ๐ and when you do I remember the dr told me to use a pillow to rest it try this maybe it will work for you too.
I’m not sure, I thought it could be Tendonitis, I’ve had problems before. Good tip, thanks, will try it out with the pillow. Have to use the brace for typing on the computer, it does help. Hope you had a great weekend!๐
If you’ve been typing for many hours well then it Tendonitis…It needs rest Ursula if you can avoid typing a few days to rest it that would be best for the wrist. Let me know how your doing via email..Hugs Sophie
Thanks for your advice, really appreciate it! I’ll email you. hugs
take care of yourself feel better soon. Huge hugs
Thank you๐
This looks so delicious !
Thank you so much sweet Megala ๐
Bruschetta are my favourite snack, especially when topped with tomatoes, or in this case sun-dried tomatoes ๐
Mine too…thank you! I hope all is good with you ๐
