Yesterday was to most stunning, sunny day in quite some time. I worked in my veggie patch all day and only stopped when my dear friend Trein and her family popped in to gift me some Basil-mint. I was thinking yum, some type of Thai salad or the like, but I had already started a roast for our Sunday night dinner. Placing the Basil mint in water over night, I waited, lusting after a fresh, summery Thai salad...........and woke to a cold, dull, rainy day. I really believe the weather effects your mood and appetite, so salad was off the menu and something comforting was in order.
I settled on a rich tomato based pasta dish. I was desperate to use my gifted basil-mint, so came up with these crispy little toasts to serve on the side.
You will need....
6 slices of thick cut olive bread
4 tbsp softened butter
1/2 cup chopped basil-mint
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Make it happen....
1. Line an oven tray with grease proof paper and arrange the bread evenly.
2. Mix the basil-mint and butter together and spread over each slice of bread making sure you go right to the edges.
3. Sprinkle the Parmesan over the bread and place into a 190c oven for 15 min or until golden and crisp.
This little gem was made out of desperation to use my gifted ingredient and turned out to be a warm, fragrant, comforting crunch on a plain grey day.
