spicy tomatoes on toast
One of my all-time favourite late evening suppers. I saw it in a cookbook ages ago, but can't remember which one. The original version used (I think) mango chutney.
serves one
2-3 (depending on size; they need to cover your toast when squidged on top) juicy tomatoes, halved
salt + pepper
a slice of butter
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 dsp curry paste
approx. 1 tbsp hot pepper jelly
a thick slice of sourdough, toasted
3 rashers of streaky bacon
1 dsp parsley
Season the tomatoes. Melt the butter in a small frying pan and sauté the garlic for a minute. Add the curry paste, let it bubble away for a bit, then place the tomatoes cut side down in the pan. Fry for 10-15 minutes, turning once or twice, until they're squidgy. At the same time, grill the bacon nice and crispy. Spread the pepper jelly on the toast and spoon over the tomatoes and juices. Top with the bacon and sprinkle with the parsley.
