Garlic Cheese bread loaded with Goodness

Who doesn't love butter? I myself, am an utterly butterly girl 😉. However I try to curtail my craving as it's not that I require loads of butter and neither should I eat it everyday. 🙈 Well with me butter is synonymous with nothing else than Amul. Aghhhhhh the salted butter, I think it's perfection❤️. 

So when I saw the newly launched Amul garlic and herb butter in the supermarket, I had to have it, no two ways about it. 

Picked up the little yum packet and returned home. I had to devour it and couldn't wait. 

In my hurry I forgot to carry a loaf of bread or a baguette, now all I had at home was the normal white bread slices. 

Not the one to easily accept defeat and neither to settle for something plain Jane.

This is what I whipped up. 

Garlic cheese bread loaded with veggies. 

Ingredients 

Amul Garlic and Herb butter 

Cheese cubes - I used Brittania 

White bread slices I made do with them, you can use a fresh loaf of bread of your choice. 

Tomatoes finely sliced

Garlic finely cut 

Onion finely chopped 

Chilly flakes 

Oregano 

Salt and pepper 

Sweet corn 

Capsicum finely chopped

Any other other vegetable or herbs of your choice

You can use green chillies, olives etc 

Method 

Butter the sliced bread on both the sides

Take a pan and keep it in low heat.

Put your sliced buttered bread in the pan

Arrange the capsicum, tomatoes, onion, corn, and all the vegetables as well as garlic. Depending on how many veggies you want over it. 

Shread cheese over it. 

Sprinkle the herbs and salt, chilly flakes over it according to your taste 

Now cover the pan with the lid and let the bread get toasted and the veggies cooked a little.

After about 5 minutes check the dish. 

You can toast the bread according to your taste and crispiness. 

Your Garlic cheese Bread is all ready to devour ,, at my place hubby and me devoured them all at one go in a jiffy. 

He loved the simple preparation. 

The Amul butter is infused with garlic and herbs and with every bite you get that creamy garlic taste, which is bang on. 

I recommend you try it as soon as possible. 

One can also make this recipe in oven or microwave. 

P.S - Those of you who do not have garlic butter, you can still go ahead with the recipe with normal butter.

If you want that extra garlic kick, you can always apply a thin layer of garlic paste to one side of the slice, and toast the bread on both the sides and then go ahead with the same recipe. 

Enjoy your Garlic bread, I am going ahead and making some more for friends.

Butter Garlic Fish

A quick and easy recipe to satisfy hunger and satiate those tastebuds ,, as well as healthy, now that's a killer combination, don't you think? 😊

I was feeling like having a quick fish bite and wanted it healthy with loads of veggies. 

I had Mackerel (Surmai) handy, the dish will turn out awesome with Tuna or Talapia variety of fish too. 

Thinking of healthy I decided to steam them. Especially for those who do not like to overpower food with too many spices and ingredients. Simple dish retaining the flavour of the fish and very subtle to taste. 

The method and ingredients are very easy and you will be thoroughly pleased with the results. 

Ingredients 

Mackerel cut in slices ( over here we are making two slices of grilled fish, enough for one person meal) 

Salt and pepper according to taste 

1 Lime juice 

Garlic cloves cut finely around 2tspn

Chilly flakes optional 

Butter a small blob 

Olive oil 2tspn

Cilantro or any herb of your choice 

Method 

Wash the fish fillet and pat dry 

Mix all the ingredients and rub the fillets with it. 

Now take a foil and keep the fish over it, pour the remaining ingredients if left and finally drizzle some olive oil. 

Wrap the fish nicely and place it in a pan. 

Let it cook with the pan covered on low flame for around 5-7 minutes then turn the package over and repeat on other side for the same time. 

Fish is ready, be careful while opening the foil. 

 

Fish is ready to be devoured with sautéed vegetables and rice, one can also have some white sauce. 

Hope you Enjoy !!
