And now for something completely different! Thanks to Daniel Green (UK) for this recipe
Serves 4 – 6
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 stalks lemongrass, inner tender white pale only, roughly chopped
1 tsp grated fresh ginger root
1 fresh red chilli, deseeded and chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
juice of 1 lime
good handful of fresh cilantro (coriander for the Brits) stems removed, leaves roughly chopped
1 ciabatta or baguette
I don’t think you need any salt in this, but you might want to taste the mixture and see.
1/ Preheat the grill
2/ Using a pestle and mortar, grind all the ingredients, except the bread, to a chunky paste
3/ Slice the bread horizontally in half, all the way through
4/ Spread the spice mixture evenly over the two pieces of bread
5/ Place under the preheated hot grill for 1 minute until heated through
