Homemade garlic spread Monday, May 31 2010

Garlic bread is something that goes very well with cream-based soups and pasta. I had a craving 2 days ago when we had some homemade bread and I wanted something savoury. So I decided to make my own garlic bread spread.

I have seen it on TV before (I think the cook made dill butter?) and wanted to recreate it seeing how easy it was.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp soft spread
• 1 heaped tsp minced garlic
• 2 pinches of salt
• dried herbs (I was out of basil, so only added oregano)

Method:

1. Mix all the ingredients together and spread on bread. Toast for a couple of minutes to get the bread crispy and golden.

It’s so easy, you can make a container and keep it in the fridge for those sudden garlic bread cravings.

Looking for new ways to eat strawberries? Want something easy? Try this!

Ingredients:

• 1 punnet strawberries, rinsed, hulled & sliced into halves
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp brown sugar (can also use other types of sugars)

Method:

1. Sprinkle sugar over strawberries.
2. Add in balsamic vinegar and mix.
3. Allow strawberries to stand in vinegar for 30mins to 1 hour.

The vinegar will add another dimension to the berry flavour. Try it and you’ll know what I mean.
