BRUSCHETTA (V)
one of my favourite things to make as a snack for lunch (or light dinner) is bruschetta. as today is a monday and i am vegetarian today, i decided to make wonderful caramelised onion, garlic mushroom and red pepper bruschetta. if you like add some mozzarella or cheddar on top (the combination with the caramelised onion is just mind blowing!)
INGREDIENTS:
- one large onion
- half a punnet of mushrooms
- two small sweet red peppers
- cheddar or mozzarella (optional)
- sugar
- balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper
- lemon juice
- one large clove of garlic
METHOD:
- in a pan, add a small amount of oil and saute the onions slowly until they are translucent and soft, but not golden brown. when it reaches this stage, add in about a tablespoon of sugar and balsamic vinegar and let it reduce. set aside.
- in another pan, saute the mushrooms and peppers together with roughly chopped garlic. when almost done to your liking, add in a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and parsley to finish.
- rub some garlic on your bruschetta (which i bought ready made) which you can make by cutting up a baguette, drizzling some olive oil on top and placing in the oven - and then layer on the onion and mushroom and pepper.
- add the cheese on top and grill for a few minutes until the cheese melts and you're ready to serve!
