This is kind of Adriatic - somewhere between Greece and Italy. A good use of slightly stale bread. Only worth doing if you have a really nice olive oil, otherwise it just tastes like grease.

Ingredients

For one person:

• Thick (1 inch) slice of wholemeal bread, which can be slightly stale
• Half a clove of garlic
• tablespoon of dried (or fresh I guess) basil
• three tablespoons of super duper extra virgin olive oil.

Method

Preheat the grill to its hottest setting

Rub the garlic hard all over the piece of bread, so the garlic oil seeps into the bread. Now rub the basil into the bread. Dribble olive oil over the entire slice. Put the slice uner the grill and brown the edges of the bread. (Wash the garlic off your hands while you wait)
