Bruschetta with sun dried tomatoes

Written by Published on Updated on May 24, 2019 in Uncategorized

I am a huge fan of tennis and Rafa’s!! 🙂 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.  hahaha 🙂 🙂 🙂  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.  🙂  Both delicious and quick I hope you enjoy this recipe 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    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 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Sophie!

    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 :):)

        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 :):)

        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 :):)

    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 🙂

    Bruschetta are my favourite snack, especially when topped with tomatoes, or in this case sun-dried tomatoes 😀
