Recipes and tipps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine minced garlic with olive oil and pepper. Place the bread cubes in a large bowl, slowly drizzle olive oil mixture over and toss to coat, but using only enough to coat the bread cubes and reserving the remainder. Place bread cubes on a large cookie sheet. Place in oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. While bread is baking, prepare the marinade by combining, in a small bowl, the remaining olive oil mixture, tomatoes, olives, balsamic vinegar, basil, parsley and salt. Allow to set until bread is cooled. In a large bowl, toss together the bread cubes and marinade. Sprinkle fresh Parmesan cheese over top. Serve immediately.
