Preparation Time 10 minutes
Cooking Time 15 minutes

Ingredients (serves 6)

2 tbs pine nuts
1 piece Lebanese bread, split
80ml (1/3 cup) olive oil
Pinch of sea salt flakes
1 lemon
3 green zucchini, cut lengthways into 4mm-thick slices

Cut rind into very thin strips.) Juice the lemon. Whisk together the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of oil in a small jug. Season with salt and pepper.

Garlic Bread Recipe - How to Make Garlic Bread


The Side Dish blog (the home of side dish and salad collection recipes) invites you to try Garlic Bread recipe. Enjoy quick and easy cooking recipes and learn how to make Garlic Bread.

Spaghetti just seems lonely without garlic bread, and it's so easy to make. There are several methods and twists for making garlic bread, the most simple being just rubbing a cut clove of garlic over slices of Italian or French bread, spreading the bread with butter and heating in the oven. Here are a couple of methods that make wonderful garlic bread, depending on how you like it, either toasty or soft.

Ingredients

1 16-ounce loaf of Italian bread or French bread
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 large cloves of garlic, smashed and minced
1 heaping tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Method

Method 1 - Toasted

1 Preheat oven to 350°F.
2 Cut the bread in half, horizontally. Mix the butter, garlic, and parsley together in a small bowl. Spread butter mixture over the the two bread halves. Place on a sturdy baking pan (one that can handle high temperatures, not a cookie sheet) and heat in the oven for 10 minutes.

3 Remove pan from oven. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over bread if you want. Return to oven on the highest rack. Broil on high heat for 2-3 minutes until the edges of the bread begin to toast and the cheese (if you are using cheese) bubbles. Watch very carefully while broiling. The bread can easily go from un-toasted to burnt.

4 Remove from oven, let cool a minute. Remove from pan and make 1-inch thick slices. Serve immediately.

Method 2 - Soft

Preheat oven to 350°F. Make the butter, garlic, parsley mixture as above. Make 1-inch thick slices into the bread, but do not go all the way through, just to the bottom crust. Put a teaspoon or two of the butter mixture between each slice. Wrap the bread in aluminum foil and heat for 15 minutes in the oven.
