My super quick Vegan Garlic Bread with fresh basil


Hola!
'The husband' loves garlic bread and he can literally have it everyday for lunch. It therefore becomes convinient for me, if I make the garlic butter and store it in the fridge. This mixture stays absolutely good for over a month.

TOTAL PREP+BAKE TIME- 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1. 4 Tbsp  Salted Butter (Vegan or regular)
2. 5 garlic cloves- very finely chopped or grated but should not get pulpy.
3. 1 very finely chopped fresh green Chili pepper or any non hot to milder peppers like Cherry peppers, Serrano, yellow hot wax peppers etc
4. 1/2 Tsp of dry oregano ( or whatever is available)
5. 3-4 big basil leaves, finely chopped.
6. Chili flakes- just for sprinkles (if and as needed, per your tolerance level)
7. 4 Slices of any sandwich bread or Baguettes. I have used french bread here.


PREPARING THE BUTTER,

1. Take an air tight box and transfer the butter, dry herb, chopped fresh chili peppers and chopped garlic and mix thoroughly. You can store this mixture for later use too. This quantity of mixture can be used on at least 10-12 medium sliced slices.







     THE BREAD,


1. Slice the bread as many as you need  about an inch thick.
2. Spread the garlic butter.
3. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil
5. A little sprinkle of chili flakes (if you want)
6. Turn your over to 'Broil' and place atleast 2 inches below the heating element. Be sure to keep a watch. Give it about 1-1.5 mins and take it out of the oven.








The basil does pure magic and I just cant seem to stop eating! Made four slices today for the both of us but ended up gobbling away all four. I did however toasted two more later for him!

      Going back a little bit about our vegan diet for the last 4 months now, the first and one of the most important benefits is our gut movements, they have simply vanished like magic and I mean like MAGIC. Half of your health worries are gone with that being taken care of. More later. 

Do share your pictures  if you manage to make this! I will be absolutely delighted! Signing off for tonight. Cheers🥂

Anindita.

North Sikkim -A Formidable Paradise.

It is difficult to put the entire experience of our trip to North Sikkim in words; however I have tried my best to substantiate it with pictures, that will speak a lot about the beauty of this place and the austere road conditions that we had to travel thru, to witness some of the most enthralling landscapes ever! It's imperative at this point that I mention about our Tour operator 'Nature Beyond' from Silliguri (WB), who were phenomenal. They know their job too well and I would strongly recommend them to any prospective traveller to Sikkim, North Bengal, Tibet etc.  I'd also like to really thank Trip Advisor and Mr. Ashis Roy, whose recommendation it was, to go with Nature Beyond and I am so glad I did! Trip Advisor undoubtedly is a great guide and a must check before planning for any tour.   Everything was made perfect for us, the hotel rooms, the permits, the cars and such wonderful drivers!! A special thanks to Mr. Pallab Bhattacharya from Nature be

The City of lights and the joy of being there.

Image
Our trip to France and Switzerland in the year 2013 had been nothing short of a dream come true for me! 'Paris', whatever I say about her, would be nothing that hasn't been described or expressed before. I however feel that everyone who visits this city goes thru one common emotion, and that is an overwhelming love for this bewitching beauty of a city. Here, I write about our experiences and the joy we had in the City of love! Having done an extensive research on the airport terminals and metros, we found ' Charles De Gaulle ' to be quite familiar. It was an easy way to the ticket counter, for a 'five-day Paris Visite pass'. The mistake we made here was to take a train to our hotel ( Tim hotel ) in Boulogne Billancourt. This travel required a change of trains three times, and considering we had two big suitcases and one laptop bag, it was a bad idea; and we realized that later, on our way back to the airport via taxi, which cost us just about 3

An extraordinary sojourn to the Champagne Vineyards in Reims, France.

Image
During our stay in Paris, we took a fascinating day trip to the quaint town of Reims in France, that houses the quintessential Moet Chandon champagne fields n champagne factories. Moët Chandon is a French winery and co-owner of the luxury goods company Moët-Hennessy - Louis Vuitton , it is one of the world's largest champagne producers and a prominent champagne house. The company holds a Royal Warrant to supply champagne to Queen Elizabeth II :)  Beauty of Europe isn't unknown, but to experience this beauty is a stupefying experience. We felt euphoric, soaked in the beauty, the air, the smell around, smiled, sipped one of the best champagnes of the world and let our hearts be intoxicated with all of those!  Our journey started at 8am in the morning from Gare del Est station in Paris. It took us about 45 mins to reach Reims train station. We had a 3hr tour booked thru Chris Event. We had some nice chocolate macarons and a delicious long baguette baked with
