Evil bread salad

Ingredients 

Fresh basil leaves loads of them like a full big plant.  Most supermarkets or Veg shops sell fresh basil plants. 

Crusty bread 

Garlic 

Olive oil 

Lemons 

Parmesan cheese  

Cherry tomatoes 

Balsamic vinegar 

Equipment

1 small dish for the garlic oil 

1 large serving dish 

Method

Make a garlic olive oil by chopping up garlic very finely and adding it to the oil.  The smaller you chop the garlic the stronger the flavour. 

Leave for a while so the garlic infuses in to the oil 

Wash the basil while waiting 

Using large chunks of crusty bread, dip in the oil and put in a hot oven until golden brown (do you see a trend happening here) 

Put your basil on a nice dish with the tomatoes and place the bread on the top and grate slices of the Parmesan cheese on the top.  

Drizzle over the top with the lemon and the vinegar. 

You can make a larger main meal from this by adding in roast potatoes or boiled new potatoes, and you can even add the corn fritters for a massive and very lush meal.
