RECIPES: ordinary garlic croutons

This article is not about the legendary Ukrainian dumplings. Coming soon, on bruschetta. Bruschetta - an Italian national dish - toasted bread smeared with olive oil and grated clove of garlic. In Russian - usual garlic croutons. I would like to see my article was not seen as a collection of recipes, as well as the praise of this simple and healthy snacks, which serves a great alternative to the usual bread.

Personally, I prefer simple version. Pieces of ordinary black bread, cut in mood, fry in a pan with the usual conventional oil. During frying prisalivaem a little on both sides. When browned slices of bread, covered with an appetizing crust, take them off from the heat on the plate.

I love to rub garlic toast while they are hot, so much burning fingers. Normal people recommend still give bread to cool slightly. Rubbed croutons conventional clove - I'm lucky, I have from my garden. All the proportions of salt, garlic - to your taste. And yet!

I prefer this procedure. There is an option, first rub the bread with garlic-salt mixture (in this case it is necessary to crush the garlic just in the frog) and then fry. But, firstly, it turns less sharply (for someone plus for someone minus). Secondly, roasted garlic takes on a peculiar odor. He is not very pronounced, and not repugnant, but the natural smell of garlic is better. Thirdly, I can not recall that after the heat treatment, the beneficial properties of garlic are reduced.

Little life hacking:

1. Spread bread is better on a heated pan with oil. So it will absorb less oil.
2. Cook garlic croutons can of dried up bread or loaf.
3. After cooking citrus hand wipe. They are well absorb unpleasant smell of garlic.

There is a cart and the small cart of various recipes, as people prepare garlic croutons. For example, someone uses exclusively Borodino bread, sprinkled with olive other herbs, add toppings third, fourth recognize only garlic baguette or crackers for "Caesar's." Therefore, in this article, I can not be not to consider alternatives:

On preheated oil pan (available from cream) fry coarsely chopped garlic cloves minutes 3 - 4. Then remove the wedges and the molten mixture of garlic oil "bring to mind" cut pieces of black or white bread. Croutons are obtained with a light garlic flavor.

Also I would recommend in this case to completely abandon frying and breaded in garlic mass (olive oil, crushed garlic + salt +) white bread just baked in the oven.

If you do not have to just bite

If you are going to use in food garlic croutons as a main course, you can put on them the fish, tomatoes, ham, greens. The most suitable and nutritious filling: frayed with boiled egg canned sprats + cucumber + mayonnaise, sour cream + cilantro and slice tomatoes.

Filling: sliced ​​greens + garlic (crushed or polished to a fine grater) + softened butter. Lubricate the mixture each slice of bread and bake in the oven until a ruddy state.

Especially good are garlic toasts with any hot first: soup, soup, broth. Especially during the cold season. about utility of the national product is a reminder is not necessary, and so everything is up to date.
