Cheat's garlic bread

Hello from a wet Poole, (no, not a wet pool like a swimming pool, but Poole is where we live, although it might as well be the swimming sort as we are wet enough already!)

Ethan has a garlic bread recipe to share with you today

When mum is making pasta, we like to make garlic bread to go with it as she says its healthier than the shop bought ones and it tastes nicer too, not to strong.

The best bit for us is that it is very quick and easy and so we can do it by ourselves.

Ingredients (What it is made  of)

1 slice of bread per person
1 heaped tsp of butter per person
1 garlic clove (makes enough for 3-4 people)
1 tsp of either dried parsley or oregano (makes enough for 3-4 people)

Method (How to bung it together)

1  Oven on to 180'c or gas 4

2  Butter your into a small bowl and mash down with a metal spoon, it helps to soften it a bit


3  Peel the skin off your garlic clove like this

4  Carefully chop your clove(s) as small as you can

5  Add to the butter with your herbs and mix together really well. Adding your garlic and herbs at the same time helps you to see if it is mixed properly as you can see the green bits, and you can't see the garlic...does that make sense?

6  Spread on your bread, right up to the edges. I dived mine between all of the pieces of bread before spreading them so that I can share the mixture out more evenly

7  Put them on the baking tray and pop them into the oven for 10 minutes

8  If you chopped them into really small pieces you could use them like croutons, but we have ours like this

I have a theory that if I eat enough garlic bread it might make me smell enough to keep unwanted sloppy kisses away?

Mum - it won't work Ethan, you have to think of something else!


We hope you will try this recipe out, it is very easy

Hope it dries up soon, we want to go foraging!!

Bye Bye

Ethan
