Real bruschetta is toasted bread with tomato, garlic and herbs. Delicious, but it means chopping and slicing right when your guests are at the door. This spread from Smaakgeheimen does that work for you: lid off, bread on the side, done.

The flavour

A creamy spread with all the flavours of bruschetta: tomato and garlic, with oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme and a hint of red pepper. Give it a quick stir before you start, so the flavour is evenly spread.

How I use it

• The classic: on toasted ciabatta, topped with halved cherry tomatoes and a fresh basil leaf.
• On a sharing board: with breadsticks and sticks of pepper and cucumber for dipping.
• With potato wedges: a creamy dip for wedges straight from the oven.
• In a wrap: with grilled chicken, crisp lettuce and a few slices of tomato.

Received this as a gift?
