Ingredients Serving: 6

1 Baguette (i have used multi-grain baguette with oats and flax seeds)
1/2 cup boiled sweet corn kernels.(i have boiled kernels for 3-4 minutes in microwave oven)
1/2 cup finely chopped ripe tomatoes
1/4 cup cubed red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoon finely chopped coriander
2 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon orange zest
Freshly crushed black pepper as per taste
Salt to taste

Instructions

Slice the baguette using a knife.
Place the slices of bread on a baking tray and brush it with olive oil. Toast the slices in a preheated oven for 4-5 minutes. I have grilled the baguette slices in a convection microwave oven for 4 minutes on high rack using grill mode.
While the bread slices are getting toasted we will prepare the topping. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a pan . Add onions and allow them to sweat.
Now add red bell peppers and saute for about a minute on high flame. Add boiled sweet corn kernels and saute for another 30 seconds.
Remove the sauteed veggies in a mixing bowl. Add tomatoes, coriander , orange zest . Mix well Season the salad with salt and freshly crushed black pepper. Toss well. Do a taste test here and add any seasonings if required .
When the toasted bread slices are brown and still hot , rub the peeled garlic cloves on to the slices. This will infuse lovely flavor to the bread.
Now place a tablespoon of prepared bruschetta topping on each bread slice and our flavorful sweet corn and tomato bruschetta is ready to serve .
