The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry | A Sydney Food Blog

Breakfast Bruschetta

June 29th, 2009  |  Published in Uncategorized

There are always weekends spent moping around the house, wondering how your epic hunger coincides with a Mother Hubbard state of cupboard affairs.

And then there are the ones where everything lines up extremely nicely. Blake and Lex had given me a jar of their home-made tomato relish the week before and I had some crusty bread that was going to cross over into that rock-hard stage of dental pain and general inedibility if I didn’t use it soon.

So I made some breakfast bruschetta with the relish, adding some parmesan shavings, pine nuts, a greedy extra lug of olive oil and some shreds of baby spinach.

The relish was really the main star – the chilli was an unexpected scissorkick of flavour, as was the tart hit of vinegar.

If you’re in a condiment-making mood, you can create this relish by finding Blake’s recipe in the Save FBi cookbook (which you can download here, in exchange for a voluntary donation to the station.

Otherwise, you can wait until Blake (hopefully) opens his cafe in Berlin (one day).

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
