Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet and toss with the oil. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until very soft and tender.
Remove and cool slightly.
Place the cooled tomatoes in the bowl and add the garlic, olives and basil. Add a
few drops of oil if the mixture looks dry. Pulse on 1 for just a few seconds, or long
enough to roughly chop the vegetables together. Don’t over-blend.
Spoon the bruschetta on the bread rounds and serve. Makes about 12 servings.
