Bon Apetit!!!!!!

I added a chicken burger 🍔 with aubergine pesto.

Q) what’s tasty, got all the flavour, simples to rustle up, and gives you two of your five a day?! ( um, clue in title) …….,,,

Ingredients

1x Ciabatta loaf, cut into four. 🥖

2x tbsp Pesto (flavour of your choice)

20x cherry tomatoes 🍅

1x 1/2 small cup of red onion 🧅

Generous glug of olive oil

Method.

Add olive oil to a medium frying pan, heat and place both the onions and tomatoes into the pan. On a high heat, cook these for five mins, stirring occasionally.

Next, Add the bread, doughy part facedown to the frying pan for two mins, allowing it to soak up the flavoursome olive oil, and flavours of onion and tomato.

After this, place the ciabatta on a big serving dish. Layer with the contents of the frying pan and at the end, add a cheeky topping of lush pesto on top of each piece of bread.

Serve immediately!
