Thai Garlic Bread
I love this, as Thai food is an absolute favourite. It
is so easy to make, and adds a great alternative for a
BBQ fare.
Try this idea with any of your favourite herbs and
spices mixed with olive oil.
(Serves 4)
1 French loaf or Chiabatta Bread
4 Cloves garlic
3 Lemon Grass Stalks
1 Teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2-6 Red Thai Dragon Chiles
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
1 Lime
Large handful fresh coriander leaves
I love garlic bread, and by just adding these few Thai
herbs and spices it gives a real kick to the original
classic.
Take your loaf of bread and cut in half. Use a blender
for all of the above ingredients, or you can chop very
finely by hand. With the lime, you can add the zest of
the skin to give a little more flavour. If you do not
have sesame oil you can use 2 tablespoons of olive
oil.
Now when you have the mixture spread evenly on the
bread. You can use a pastry brush as you do not want
this to go on the bread too thickly.
You can cook this 2 ways. The first way is to place
the coated 2 halves of bread back together and wrap in
foil. Cook this in your oven at 190 for 10-12 minutes.
The other way is to grill this on a barbecue for just
a few minutes each side.
Voila!
