VEGETARIAN GLUTEN FREE

OUR garlic bread is a perfect accompaniment to other dishes. Add a little cheese to the mix and you’ve really got a party going! Using fresh garlic, a spritz of low-calorie cooking spray and switching to a gluten-free bread can make a real dent on the calorie count, but it is just as tasty.

SERVES 2

2 white gluten-free ciabatta loaves, sliced in half lengthways

1 garlic clove, peeled but left whole Low-calorie cooking spray 4 tbsp tinned chopped tomatoes

40g reduced-fat Cheddar, finely grated 1 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley

PREHEAT the oven to 200c/fan 180c/gas 6. Slice the ciabattas

in half and place on an oven tray. Bash the garlic clove with the back of a knife and rub it thoroughly over the cut sides of the ciabatta. If you like your garlic bread very garlicky then chop it finely and scatter it over the ciabatta loaves. Spray the ciabatta with low-calorie cooking spray and place in the oven for 5 minutes. Take the ciabatta out of the oven, top with the tomatoes and cheese. Return to the oven until the cheese has melted, then season and scatter with the chopped parsley.
