This is a great example of a dish that doesn't have many ingredients and lots of cooking processes yet it literally bursts with flavour. The bruschetta can be served as individual dishes or are great on a platter in the middle of the table.They're so simple and easy to make that you won't believe how good they taste. This is a two part recipe. In part one we make and bake the bruschetta. In part two we finish everything off.
Baking tray
Small mixing bowl

This week's newsletter recipe is for my Tangy Lamb Tagine. This is a great dish packed with flavour - all you have to do is throw a bunch of ingredients in a pot and let them cook for a couple of hours and the result is magic! Slow cooked lamb shoulder, with the sweetness of apricot and the gentle heat of cayenne pepper - this dish will warm up your senses in no time.

Preheat your oven to 200c then take the garlic cloves and chop them finely. Add a pinch of course sea salt to your work surface and scoop the garlic on top. With the flat of your knife, press down on the garlic and scrape lightly towards you. What you need to do is continually squash and scrape the garlic against the salt until you have a garlic paste.
Now take the ciabatta which should be very lightly toasted, so that the outside is crispy but the middle is still nice and soft. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the bread and then spread the garlic paste over the ciabattas evenly.
Next add the tomatoes. Sometimes it can be difficult to get them to not roll off, so just press them into the ciabatta lightly so they stay. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the top and then season generously with salt and pepper.
Transfer them to a baking tray and then bake in the oven for 5 minutes.
Once you've taken them out of the oven, tear the basil leaves and scatter generously over everything and you're done!
I hope that you enjoy them.
