This easy recipe involves mixing up a few ingredients,
piling them on toast and plonking it all in the oven. Now that is quick and easy.
I've left the amounts variable - put in
whatever amount you like really. I never measure any
of this.
The links immediately below are
not my recipes but you may find them interesting
anyway.
Ingredients:
Grated cheese
Finely chopped tomato, juice drained away
1 very small chopped onion
Chopped parsley
Chutney
Garlic salt
Slices of bread, just barely toasted
Butter
Method:
Mix all ingredients together well. Pile onto
buttered toast. Place in a hot oven for 10 minutes.
Notes:
Don't make the toast too brown - remember it has to go
into the oven for 10 minutes after so you don't want it over-done.
Food Facts:
Cheese is extremely popular due to its variety of tastes and
textures. Some cheeses like feta and mozzarella are mostly used in
salads or on pizzas. Other cheeses, both hard and soft are
perfect for cheese boards where their flavours can be truly
appreciated. Cheeses contain valuable amounts of protein, calcium,
vitamins and minerals but some cheeses, particularly hard ones, are
high in saturated fat. Cheeses fall into two categories - hard and
un ripened. Hard cheeses are generally matured for many months
and their flavours develop over this time. Examples of hard
cheeses are cheddar, parmesan, goat's cheese, haloumi, feta and
mozzarella. Un ripened cheeses are young and immature and
they have a light, mild taste. Examples are ricotta, cottage,
fromage frais, quark and cream cheese. Enjoy cheese but
be aware of the fat content and the amount you consume.
Tomatoes first grew as wild cherry sized fruits in the South
American Andes but the tomato as we know it today, originates from
Mexico. Tomato seeds were taken back to the Mediterranean
countries where they quickly became popular. There are now
more than 7,000 varieties of tomatoes. Eating tomatoes at least two
times per week is now believed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer
and to be beneficial in fighting other forms of cancer. The
key ingredient in tomatoes is Lycopene which is a carotenoid.
Cooking tomatoes, most especially in oil, releases the lycopene
making it more available to the body. Tomatoes are also said
to be good for the eyes. Tomatoes that are ripened on the vine
have far more vitamin C than those that are picked green.
