I've been trying to be good...some of the time at least, as I reel in the Christmas choc and wine fest and returned shamefaced to Zumba class, but its hard going. Contrary human nature being what it is, when we (I) make something verboten - say a caramel square as a random example- the more we (I) crave the heavenly scrumptious combination of shortbread, caramel and chocolate.
So I got to thinking, every time I go to Pizza Express I get the tote amaze Bruscetta Originale, as a starter mind, not a whole meal- it wouldn't fill a hole in your tooth. But it's delish, easy peasy and quick, and yet I've never actually bothered my bum to make it right here at home.
Until yesterday ....and I was so pleased with my cleverness that I took pictures, as you do. And here they are... can you smell the garlic? If you fancy a delicious, quick healthy snack/small meal, I urge you to give it a try.
A tad more than a drizzle but never mind! |
Then I piled on the topping (a mix of baby tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil) and drizzled some pesto on the top. Yum scrum! All healthy and washed down beautifully with a chilled glass of wine.
Just don't do what I did later on and use it to justify that Lindt chocolate with my cup of tea.....Oh well, onwards and upwards!
Sounds scrumptious - I love that starter in PE also and had never thought of making it at home. Thanks for the inspiration! Avril x PS Was wonderful to meet up this morning and have a great chat. Thanks also for the caramel square which was my late lunch…complete with disapproving husband looking over! x
