Moroccan Tomato Toast Recipes

MOROCCAN TOMATO TOAST

Steps:

• Soak the onions if using in a bowl of ice water to take out the bite, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Smash slightly on a cutting board with the bottom of your cooled skillet or with the back of your knife.
• Toast the bread. Spread the toast with a thin schmear of butter or a drizzle of oil.
• Drain the onions well. Toss together the cumin and coriander seeds, onions, tomatoes, oil and salt in a bowl. Stir in the herbs. Spoon over the toast and drizzle very lightly with a bit of honey.

MOROCCAN STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Brush a baking dish, large enough to hold the tomatoes snugly, with a little olive oil. Arrange the tomatoes in the dish, cut side up, and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat, and add 3 tablespoons olive oil. Heat until shimmering. Add onion and sauté until golden and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and zucchini, and sauté until the zucchini is just starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
• Remove pan from the heat, and add cilantro, chile flakes, and 2 tablespoons pistachios. Season with salt to taste, mixing well. Divide the filling equally among the tomatoes, mounding the tops.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked as desired. Garnish with the remaining pistachios. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MUSHROOM, BACON & TOMATO FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Grill the bacon for 5-6 mins, then set aside.
• Put the cherry tomatoes on a baking tray and grill for 5 mins. Mix with the tomato chutney and set aside.
• Fry the mushrooms in ½ tbsp olive oil for 5 mins and set aside.
• Beat the egg with the milk in a shallow dish, add the bread and leave to soak for 1 min, turning once.
• Fry in the butter over a medium heat for 4 mins, then flip and cook for 4 mins more, until both sides are golden. Top with the tomato mix, bacon and mushrooms.
