Croutons

At about 1/10th supermarket price

Ingredients

• Bread (Stale is better for this but fresh works fine too)
• Plenty of oil
• A couple of cloves pureed garlic.
• Seasoning

Instructions

STEP 1:

Take the crusts off the bread and either cube it or roughly tear it apart.

STEP 2:

Mince and puree your garlic, preferably with a knife not a silly garlic press (as they waste half the garlic).

STEP 3:

Oil in the pan with the garlic and fry it off for a couple of minutes

STEP 4:

Add your bread, toss it in the oil, or use a spatula to move it about and cook on all sides.

STEP 5:

10 minutes later, croutons! Either let them go cold or eat hot.

STEP 6:

STEP 7:

They’ll tart up any boring salad for pence, as will a bit of olive oil and seasoning. No need to buy fancy dressings to eat a tastry salad.
