Braai Bruschetta
Serves 4
Ingredients
8 slices bread of your choice (ciabatta and sourdough work well)
2 shallots, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
250g baby button mushrooms, sliced in half
250g portabellini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup/125g gruyere cheese, grated
olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh parsley, for serving
Method
1 Preheat the braai. Brush the slices of bread with a little olive oil and toast on the braai until golden brown on both sides. Set aside.
2 In a cast-iron pan directly on the braai, heat a drizzle of olive oil. Add the shallots and cook until tender and starting to caramelise. Add the garlic and cook for a minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
3 Place the toasted bread onto a baking tray. Spoon the mushroom mixture onto each slice and sprinkle with cheese. Place the tray on the braai and cover with the lid for 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
4 Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
