1 loaf of crusty bread
Tomatoes
Fresh basil bunch
Olive Oil (best you have)
1 clove of raw garlic
Salt (Kosher preferred)

This is barely a recipe - it’s what I do when I’m tired and I want something substantial, like last night. I go to the grocery store and find whatever steak-like meat is on sale for $3/lb and slap it on the grill (Lean Mean in my case) with kosher salt, pepper and […]
