Chilli and Garlic Bread


INGREDIENTS
  • 200g butter
  • 2 tblspn dried Chilli
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
  • salt
  • Turkish Bread
METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C
  2. Slice bread along its length sideways
  3. Grate or finely slice garlic and mix with butter, Chilli and parsley in a small dish or mixing bowl. Whip butter mix until the mixture is slightly melted and spreads well, add salt to taste.
  4. Spread butter mixture onto Turkish bread evenly, and place in the oven with the butter side up.
  5. Bake for 15-20 mins or until golden. Serve hot.

You can add more or less of the ingredients to taste, I prefer more garlic and perhaps less chilli, but more chilli always goes great when the boys are drinking. I learnt this one off an Itallian Chef called Flavio at a mates bucks weekend. We were in charge of food and I made Chorizo omlettes (recipe to come) and we both put together this garlic bread before the stripper came. At about 3:30 that morning after we got back from the pub Flavio put together this fantastic Fettucine Arrabiatta, which I'll try and recreate before I post it. Flavio works at a restaurant in Sydney called Taste. At least I think he does, it might be Prima Taste. I was pretty drunk.

Enjoy
