autumn has arrived, at least in the bay area, and at least for the past three days. it’s been breezy and chilly, perfect weather for soup. i made giada’s cheese tortellini soup and my personal recipe, garlic bomb parmesan bread (no picture taken, unfortunately).
garlic bomb parmesan bread:
-1 loaf of bread cut in half, lengthwise. i use rosemary foccacia bread.
-1/2 cup – 3/4 cup of freshly grated parmigiano reggiano
-4-5 large cloves of garlic. use more if you’re a freak.
-1 tablespoon of butter, melted
-1 tablespoon of chopped italian parsley
-2 tablespoons of olive oil
-fresh cracked pepper
-pinch of kosher salt
while chopping garlic (don’t use a garlic mincer, use a knife) add a pinch of salt to the garlic to help break it down. you may also need to use the flat side of the knife to further smash down the garlic. this process may take a few minutes, but it’s worth it. the garlic should become juicy with tiny chunks. add garlic to melted butter. add olive oil and parsley, mix together. spread mixture over both halves of bread. add more melted butter and olive oil if desired. sprinkle cheese over bread, add a bit of fresh pepper. place on cookie sheet and broil for a few minutes. keep an eye on the bread so it doesn’t burn. you want the edges to be golden brown and the cheese melted.
