Method


  1. For the tomato topping, heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and cook gently until softened. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.

  2. Add the tomatoes and a pinch of sugar and simmer for five minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the sauce has thickened. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and place into a small serving bowl.

  3. For the tapenade, place all of the tapenade ingredients into a small food processor and blend until almost smooth. Place into a small serving bowl.

  4. For the bruschetta, brush each slice of bread with olive oil. Heat a griddle pan until hot and griddle the bread until toasted on both sides.

  5. To serve, place the toasted ciabatta onto a serving plate with the bowls of tapenade and tomato sauce alongside. Sprinkle with fresh chives.
