- Stir in the garlic and cook 5 minutes. Stir the rocket into the mixture then remove frying pan from heat. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.

Made it vegetarian. loved the recipe but didn't like the cooking part. I think it should be fresh tasting if it is going to be a brushetta. I add the garlic, parmesan and olive oil to the food prossessor and made a pesto, then added then sundried tomatoes and gave it a course chop spread that on the bread and then added the fresh chopped tomatoes and garnished with a chiffonade of basil. - 29 Sep 2008
Altered ingredient amounts. Skipped the sundried tomatoes and doubled the rocket. Came out perfect! - 29 Sep 2008
I like the flavour of this bruschetta, although it's just a bit sweeter than I would prefer due to the sun-dried tomatoes. Also, I was a bit conservative with the rocket - I recommend using a lot! I was worried there would be too much liquid, even after I drained the tomatoes before tossing them into the frypan; however, after chilling in the refrigerator for about 10 hours, it was perfect. - 29 Sep 2008
