Serves: 4 People
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:
Large French stick 3 small red onions
A bunch of spring onions
A punnet (approx 15) cherry tomatoes Half a jar of pesto
Extra virgin olive oil 2 cloves of garlic

Step by step:

Finely chop the garlic and red onions.

Put both onions and garlic in a bowl with 2 spoons of olive oil and mix together by hand.

Slice cherry tomatoes into quarters and mix in with onions and garlic.

Cut the French stick lengthways down the middle into 2 halves, then cut into ‘boats’ making 8 pieces.

Crust downwards, drizzle a little olive oil over the bread.

Put the bread pieces, crust down, under the grill and toast lightly.

Chop the spring onions.

Take bread from grill and lightly spread on pesto.

Place toasted bread pieces onto a plate and top with the mix from the bowl.

Sprinkle chopped spring onions over the top of the mix.

Drizzle balsamic vinegar over each slice in a zigzag or any pattern.


Use up
Leftover cooked meats or fish can also be used up on the topping, like smoked ham, sardines or salami.

Variations
Any variety of tomatoes can be used but cherry tomatoes have more flavour.

Extra flavour
Try adding a pinch of chilli if you like spicy food or fresh herbs like coriander.

Freezer advice
The French sticks can be bought at a reduced price at your local shop and frozen until needed. Leave out to thaw thoroughly for an hour before use.
