Cook Time5 Minutes
Ingredients
1 baguette (for smaller babies use a regular bread slice)
1 clove garlic
185ml (3/4 cup) olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup + 1/4 pumpkin seeds
2 large handfuls kale leaves
2 large handfuls fresh parsley leaves
15 cherry tomatoes
Handful fresh basil leaves finely chopped
Juice 1/2 lemon
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Directions
INGREDIENTS
- 1 baguette (for smaller babies use a regular bread slice)
- 1 clove garlic
- 185ml (3/4 cup) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup + 1/4 pumpkin seeds
- 2 large handfuls kale leaves
- 2 large handfuls fresh parsley leaves
- 15 cherry tomatoes
- Handful fresh basil leaves finely chopped
- Juice 1/2 lemon
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
METHOD
- Pre-heat oven to 180ºC.
- Thinly slice the baguette, then place onto a baking tray and toast in the oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, then rub each piece with the garlic clove. A very small amount of garlic will be on the toast.
- To make the pesto, add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. If it is too thick you can add a little extra olive oil to thin it out.
- Finely chop the tomatoes and add to a bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Stir well.
- To assemble the bruchetta, spoon 1 teaspoon of the pesto onto each bread piece, top with the tomato mixture.
* For smaller babies - cut a slice of bread into soldiers, lightly toast then serve in the same way.
