    • Coarse salt
    • 4 cloves of garlic, peeled, flattened and finely chopped
    • ½ cup fresh basil, chopped
    • 4 slices of Italian, Portuguese or sourdough bread
    • For the bread
    • Extra virgin olive oil

    1. Prepare the bread first by brushing them lightly with olive oil and grilling them until golden brown.
    2. Turn the bread over and repeat.
