A surprisingly tasty, different tea sandwich from the more common cucumber sandwich. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons olive oil |
2 shallots, very finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, very finely chopped |
12 ounces red ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped |
1 sprig tarragon |
3 ounces very soft butter |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
12 slices white bread |
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a small pan and fry the shallots and garlic until soft. Add the tomatoes to the shallots with the tarragon. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until reduced to a thick pulp.
2. Press through a sieve and leave to cool. Once cold, beat the purée slowly into the softened butter.
3. Season, and make into 6 sandwiches with the white bread.
4. Remove the crusts and cut each sandwich into four triangles, squares or rectangles.
