DIY Sub Sandwich with Garlic Sauce




When you want to spend time outside, maybe go for a long walk, go to the park, or simply can't be bothered to spend too much time away from your terrace I suggest this simple snack/lunch!
What makes it great?? It doesn't need many ingredients, only the ones that YOU choose (or can find in your fridge)!

Fun fact of the day: The "Sub" as a name does not primarily refer to the large green/yellow retailer that offers customers the opportunity to "eat fresh" fast-food...NO! It originates from the name Submarine Sandwich, a food offered to Navy servicemen in the U.S. in WWI.

Quick and Easy home-made Bruschetta with whole grain toast




















People tend to think that, apart from Pizza - which was hijacked by the Americans improving thickness and cheese-content - and Spaghetti - which has become a kind of universal easy-to-make dish - the Italians are the Masters of their own cuisine! 
They give it unpronounceable names and have the authentic advantage of actually sun-blushing/kissing/drying their food and have the climate to sweat out the litres of olive oil used in all their foods. But I will show today how you can make your own delicious BRUSCHETTA!

Bruschetta, for the Italians is the toasted bread by the way, which can be topped with anything really. However in other European countries it's the typical tomato and garlic mix on top that has become associated with the name. Therefore I will add the simple recipe for the mix, as opposed to the recipe for whole grain toast. That may come some other day :) Enjoy!
