Quickies


This space will have anytime, quicktime recipes here. All staying true to the essence of add good to food, i.e. cheateat. Although, this page will be less yap. The reason for a quickie is because we have a smaller window. Yes?

Most of these can be used as spreads, dips or sandwich stuffings.

1. Tomato-basil stuffing:

Get a deep bowl and generously drizzle Extra virgin Olive oil.

Add in 1 finely chopped tomato (red & ripe please). Or use a few chopped cherry tomatoes if you like it sharper.

Add a bunch of chopped or torn fresh basil leaves, a small dollop of mustard, a few drops of balsamic vinegar, red chilly pepper flakes.

Mix well in a bowl so it looks like a salsa.

Throw in a teaspoon of flax seeds. (*See cheateat note below.) 

Optional but yum: Crumble in very little feta cheese. If you don’t have this then parmigiano reggiano/parmesan works too.

Fill into halved and slit pitas. Brush a little olive oil on the bread or the pan.

Toast the desi way (put it on the pan with a weight on top). Turn over once in between. This way it's crisp on the outside and moist inside.

*Cheateat- flax seeds are tiny-mighties. High in antioxidants, Omega 3s / essential fatty acids (EFAs) & fiber. Especially good for vegetarians. Besides, they add a nutty flavour to this toastie.

Go enjoy with anything!
