… Greek-Style
So this morning I bought the ingredients for another fish dish (yes an easy one). But tonight I didn’t cook it. I cooked (made) this instead. I had the ingredients and I bought a toastie machine this morning. I had not intended to, but I did. I went looking for a (the) liquidizer. I got distracted, and nearly bought, a three litre capacity food processor. But I didn’t. I bought a four pound and sixty four pence toastie machine instead. It is not pretty but it will spend most of its life in the cupboard, so it can look ugly from there. Because I have to cook every meal in this book this means that I have to cook four toastie recipes. That means I need to buy a toastie machine. I did. It cost four pounds and sixty four pence. It’s white. And its ugly. And its lives in the cupboard under the …
So tonight I feel tired, and more than a little off, and full. So a film, a glass of wine and a toastie sounds good. I have all the ingredients for this meal and it just so happens that I am now the proud owner of a toastie machine. An ugly one.
This meal is for one. I cook it for two and it’s in the tosatie machine in three minutes and some seconds. I’m not sure if it’s the very, very cheap machine I have bought or if it just takes this long but they where done by thirteen minutes and forty seconds. I managed to burn my self in the process and I had to wrestle with the machine to make it shut over the small (actually quite large) piles of avocado, tomato and feta (and oregano – not that it takes up any room).
Anyway. This was very nice and simple and it felt good. Good in the sense that it felt quite healthy. I have really quite a limited experience of toasties. But as I understand it they are usually drenched in butter on the outside and then grilled or fried. This is not. It still taste good, but it lacks that sensation of butter dripping down your fingers. Which is probably a good thing.
Today I have managed to cook two 15 minute meals. Nether of which have felt like a legitimate fifteen minute meal (being in the back section of the book). But they are in the book and they must be cooked. And I have. And they were good.
How long: Thirteen minutes and forty seconds
