Preparation

Step 1

Put the vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper and 4 tablespoons olive oil in a small jar, and shake well. Set aside.

Clean the mushrooms and remove their stems. Brush the vegetables with olive oil. Grill the mushrooms for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Place the onion and tomato chunks on skewers and grill, turning often, until lightly charred (or pan fry in a little oil if preferred).

Cut each mushroom in half, and cut the onion and tomato chunks into thin slices.

Spread a little of the vinegar mixture on each slice of bread, then top with the mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and basil leaves.
