Fettunta

A tuscan summer treat.... great as an appetizer or serves 2 for a meal!

Ingredients

• 6 slices good French bread, sliced 3/4-inch thick
• 1 to 2 plump garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 cup good extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup thickly sliced deli meat (anything really), minced
• 1 bell pepper
  
• 1/2 cup finely grated cheese
• 3 tablespoons containing: Basil, Chives and Cilantro (You can put how much you want of each but must be 3 tbsp in total )
  

Directions

Prepare a gas, charcoal, or wood fire for grilling.

Grill the bread a few inches from the heat until golden on both sides. Place the bread on a platter and immediately rub the garlic cloves over the top of the bread's surface. For really garlicky fettunta, rub hard and use both cloves of garlic. Drizzle a generous tablespoon or more of olive oil over each slice of bread.

Cut the Pepper in half, spread oil on both sides and roast on BBQ. When done, cut to small pieces.

Combine the deli meat, cheese, pepper and herbs in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over each slice of bread. Return the bread to the hot grill cheese side up, cover the grill with the lid, and cook the fettunta just long enough to melt the cheese and rewarm the toast a bit, about 1 minute. Serve hot.
