Pineapple Bruschetta was inspired when shopping for another recipe. I had been craving some homemade Tepache – see here for that recipe too. I was also feeling slightly peckish having worked up a sweat from all the cycling. Returning home as I deskinned the pineapple, I imagined resting on my sofa. And, tossing together some basil laced with sweet paprika just resonated and was idyllic in that moment.
I was also dying to use my spiralizer. Yet, I wanted to have the pineapple in a raw form. I wanted the taste of some rustic bread I had purchased too. So, I came up with this bruschetta. It worked out to be a great snack too.
This savoury sweet dish is vegan.
