From Ready Steady Cook
Ingredients
For the toasted bread
For the tomato topping
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 vine tomatoes, de-seeded and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 6 basil leaves, torn
- 3 tbsp olive oil

Method
For the toasted bread, drizzle the oil over the ciabatta and sprinkle over the salt. Heat a griddle pan until smoking and chargrill the bread for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown and toasted. Remove from the pan and rub each slice of toast with the cut-side of half a garlic clove.
For the tomato topping, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, pile the tomato mixture on top of the toasted bread.
