I love to cook. I love my CSA (community supported agriculture). As The Purple Cook I’ll share with you how our family uses the food we got from our CSA and other local sources. The blog will share recipes, storage tips, and stories of what happens to that food from pick up to kitchen clean up. A CSA can be fun, adventurous, and surprising.

Mozzarella, Pesto, and Tomato Bruschetta
We had lunch at a friend’s house this week and she served this for lunch. I knew my husband would LOVE this combination, so they were ready to go when he came home from work. Delicious!
Mozzarella, Pesto, and Tomato Bruschetta
1 baguette
2 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole
Fresh mozzarella, ½ inch slices
2 T pesto
1 medium beefsteak tomato, diced
Slice the baguette and place on a baking sheet. Preheat the broiler and toast the bread for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Rub with the whole cloves of garlic. Place the slices of mozzarella on the bread. Broil again for 1-2 minutes until nicely melted. Spread small dollops of pesto on each slice and top with diced tomato.
Here is a basic pesto recipe.
