Easy Lunch

Want something quick and easy for lunch especially after you just made all that pesto. Here is something easy to make if you are in a hurry or want a lite lunch.

Ingredients: 

Nice Crusty Bread
Pesto (check out my recipe on here)
Chorizo (if you want)
Tomato
Olive Oil
Pepper

Directions:

Toast the bread, spread with pesto, add the chorizo, add a slice of tomato, drizzle with olive oil and pepper to taste.

Hummus Bruschetta

This bruschetta was really easy to make. What I decided to use was some organic sour dough bread as this adds to the flavor. I think you get a really nice crunch out of it as well.

Ingredients 

6-8 Slices of Sour Dough (more of less depending on how much you want)
Olive oil
1 Tomato
1 Garlic Clove or 6-8 Roasted Garlic cloves (Refer to my Roasted Pepper Bruschetta for directions on Roasted Garlic. If you don't have time use just a normal garlic clove)
Hummus (Refer to my Hummus Recipe)
Paprika
Pepper

Directions 

Toast the sour dough slices to desired texture. Once done, take your tomato and slice. Take one of the slices and rub slice of toast. The slice of tomato should do about 2 slices of toast. Then rub with a garlic clove (or spread with roasted garlic clove). Spread hummus over bruschetta, drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with paprika and pepper. Serve

Serves 3-4 if using 2 slices per person

Cucumber Tasties

Here is my version of what I call Roasted Cucumber Tasties. Its a great substitute for bread when wanting a bruschetta but don't or cant eat bread. It's great tasting and has tremendous flavor.

Great of serving your guest when wanting a light snack or just for yourself to try. Almost the same as the bruschetta recipe.

Ingredients:

1 Sweet Red Pepper
1 Garlic Bulb
1 Cucumber (Slices Desired)
Olive Oil
Pepper
Salt



Directions:

Pre-Heat oven 375F (185-190C). Take the sweet red pepper and cut off the stem end, de-seed and slice horizontally then slice again. Drizzle with olive oil. Next take the garlic bulb and cut about 1/2 inch of the top. Drizzle garlic with the tbsp of olive oil. Cover the garlic bulb completely with foil. Place both the red pepper slice and garlic bulb onto baking tray. Roast for about 20-25 mins.

Once the timer is down to about 2-3 mins slice your cucumber. Take out the red pepper and garlic. Peel a garlic clove and slice, slice the sweet pepper to length desired and put on cucumber. Put sweet pepper slices on the cucumber slices, then add the garlic slices (amount desired) Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper on top. Done

Serves 3-4
