Vegetable Garlic Bread

A delicious Italian inspired side dish for pasta, pizza or anything Italian. This is a very easy and quick recipe. Hungry at 2 am, chop some veggies spread them on bread along with butter and its ready under 5 minutes, or may be quicker depending upon your knife skills. Mine are pathetic. It takes me an hour to chop just one onion, capsicum and tomato each. But I do have persuading or convincing skills coz I always end up convincing somebody else to chop vegetables for me, like I did today. ;)

Anyways, coming back to Garlic Bread, here’s the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 medium sized onion chopped

½ Tomato and Capsicum each, chopped.

5-6 Garlic slices chopped

1 ½ Tablespoon Butter.

4 Bread Slices.

Salt and Chilli each to taste.

1 teaspoon Dried Oregano.

Recipe:

In a microwaveable bowl, mix onion, tomato, capsicum and garlic together.

Add butter and microwave it for 20-30 seconds maximum at maximum temperature. Butter will just start to melt. Take the bowl and give it nice stir and incorporate everything together. Microwave it again for 10-20 seconds at max temperature. Butter would have completely melted by now.

Add spices and give it a nice mix.

Spread it generously on each bread slice, dividing mixture equally into 4 parts.

Now microwave the bread slices. Duration will depend upon how you prefer your bread. I like it little soggy with all butter absorbed into it, which I get after toasting it for one minute on max temperature. Increase the duration if you prefer crispy base and slightly burnt topping, as that in pizza. Alternatively, you can first toast the bread and then spread the buttered veggies on it and eat it. Choice is yours.

Try it and tell me how you like it. J
