You love your cheese on toast alright.
More cheese on toast
What a roaster.
@Smark @Tassotti - Hugh has a cracking little tip for sourdough toasted. Drizzle (not drown) the toast with extra virgin olive oil and let it soak in for 30 seconds. Then, sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle on a bit of honey. This is a game-changing treat.
Whose your man that’s sells the granola? He gave me his life story a few times.
Jaysus you’re telling me, i’ve been looking for a bit of granola out of there. Where is he situated or what does he look like? He might be gone, i’ve not seen anyone selling granola in there. There’s the nut shack that sell the closest thing to granola but not the real deal.
He’s in one of the middle sections, well he was anyway. He could well be gone at this stage.
You’d drop serious money in there but it a good investment in the long run.
Sefik in there does the best Baklava I have ever had, probably not popular with the health conscious TFK royalty but if you’re going to have a treat you might as well have the very best.
Make your own. You won’t bate it. I make a batch that would cost €30 easily and the ingredients come in at just over a tenner. Lasts me over 2 weeks.
Have you the recipe?
Indeed and I have. I never measure, but if it’s your first time pal I’ll root a good one out for you. Will post later.
In the meantime, if you’re shopping get nuts (choose one / two / all of hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts), sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, golden linseeds, honey, jumbo oats, olive oil, juicy raisins (california raisins - not those scrawny fucks that some places sell).
Granola
125ml olive oil (not extra virgin), 125ml honey, 1 tsp good quality vanilla extract (not essence), 500g organic jumbo oats, 50g roughly chopped pecan nuts, 150g roughly chopped hazelnuts, 75g pumpkin seeds, 75g sunflower seeds, 50g golden linseeds, 100g desiccated coconut, 300g dried fruit such as california raisins, sultanas, prunes (chopped), etc. or a mixture of all.
- Preheat the oven to 170C.
- Place the oil, honey and vanilla extract in a small saucepan on a low heat and gently heat. Mix the oats, nuts, seeds and desiccated coconut together in a large bowl. Pour over the oil and honey mixture and stir really well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Divide the mixture between two large baking trays and spread in an even layer. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, taking out the trays every 5 minutes to give the mix a good stir, until golden brown. The trick here is toasted not roasted.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the trays, stirring every now and then.
- When, and only when, completely cool, transfer to a large bowl and stir in the dried fruit.
- Pour into an airtight container and store.
That looks unreal. I’m ravenous looking at it and I’d the dinner at the mothers house earlier and all. [quote=“Tassotti, post:13321, topic:7643, full:true”]

You love the auld pepper Tassy. A real Irish dinner if ever I saw one
I polished off half of a large tub of sour cream and onion pringles there. I lost control of myself once i’d started.
I look forward to the diarrhoea thread being updated in about 3 hours time.
Have you made the granola yet? It’s a great snack with a dollop of organic natural yoghurt.
I haven’t. I’ll buy all the ingredients on Saturday. Thanks for posting up that recipe. I look forward to opening a new chapter in my life involving homemade granola.
