Detailed recipeQuick recipe

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

2 tomatoes
a handful of fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
5 macadamia nuts (or almonds)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
4 slices baguette bread
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Recipe 🍳

Coarsely tear the fresh basil by pressing down with a knife, then place it in a mixing bowl.
Crush 1 clove of garlic and the macadamia nuts with the flat side of a knife or a hard tool into a coarse powder, then add to the basil.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and olive oil to the bowl and mix evenly to make an instant pesto-like seasoning.
Dice the tomatoes into small cubes, add them to the seasoning bowl, and toss gently.
Immediately after toasting the baguette slices in a pan or oven until golden, rub the cut side of the remaining garlic clove over the bread surface to impart a hint of garlic aroma.
Top the toasted baguette with a generous heap of the tomato-basil mixture, making sure it doesn't spill over.

Mix basil, crushed garlic, macadamia nuts, grated cheese, and olive oil to make the seasoning.
Add small-diced tomatoes to the seasoning bowl and toss together.
Rub garlic on the toasted baguette, then top with the tomato mixture to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

When cutting the basil, pressing down firmly with the knife helps break the cell walls, releasing its strong, characteristic fragrance.
If you don't have macadamia nuts, you can use other nuts like toasted almonds or cashews—just crush them coarsely.
Rub the garlic on the bread while it's still hot so the garlic slightly melts and infuses the bread with deep flavor.
