Gourmet Nosh
I was put onto this idea a while ago when I was in Perth. It's a bit like a bruschetta, though with a few differences. Bruschetta, if you don't know, is an italian snacky thing that is basically sliced italian bread, rubbed with garlic, drizzled with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then grilled until toasty. It can then be topped with anything from diced tomato, roasted peppers, and/or cheese.
The idea I was put onto, was as simple as dipping bread into some oilive oil, maybe mixed with a few herby things and some soy sauce. I tried it once and found it to be rather tasty, and olive oil is supposed to be good for you. Yesterday I tried this out with some olive oil on sliced turkish bread with some salami, and today I tried a bit of a variation on this idea.
You will need:
==============
Bazaar Turkish bread roll, or if you can get it, Coles bakery makes a nice Turkish loaf that has a nice garlic flavour to it. I only got the Bazaar ones because they were out of the loaf today.
The Grove Avocado Oil with Carribean Lime
3 slices Parma Ham or prosciutto
To put together:
================
1: Slice the bread on an angle to get about 6 thin slices.
2: Drizzle the bread with the oil, it doesn't have to be completely covered, just make sure you get an even coverage.
3: Grill the bread as you like it.
4: Slice each slice of prosciutto in half
5: Once the bread is grilled to your liking, place all the slices on a plate and top with the prosciutto.
Easy as that! The oil gives the bread a nice citrus flavour due to the lime oil, and the prosciutto is prosciutto, and tastes better than ham. This also works well with a good extra virgin olive oil. And you can also vary the type of cold meat you use, or not use any at all. This also works better with bread that's day-old, as it is easier to slice than fresh bread.
Suggestions: Garlic! (always good), caramelised onion, some thin slices of a good aged parmesan or romano cheese... But whatever you use, keep it simple! Stick to no more than 2 ingredients..the idea is simplicity, and let the flavour of the ingredients do the work.
