tea and tomatoes

My friend Laura and I christened my christmas-gifted teapot yesterday. It was a glorious morning in the capital city, and we'd had a successful and relaxing barbecue on my deck the night before.

Just before enjoying about 3 cups of tea from said-teapot, I ventured to the shops to grab some ripe tomatoes and a fresh baguette.

I chopped the tomatoes into chunks, and cooked them in the frying pan with a little chilli oil, a splash of balsamic vinegar and some salt and pepper. Once they were done, I sprinkled over some freshly torn basil. I warmed the baguette in the oven, and a tasty vegetarian brunch was born.

 It was perfect.

  1. there's something to be said for stuffing simple ingredients into a fresh baguette. and what better at this time of year than tomatoes + basil?

    ps. I'm in LOVE with that Norway plate :)

  2. I could live on baguettes. And Norway plate belongs to my flatmate! His cousin lives there. He's glad you like it :)
