Christmas Country Appetizers: A Festive Start.
Ingredients:
  • 24 cherry tomatoes (about 2 punnets)
  • 80ml olive oil
  • 80g parmesan
  • 62.50 ml basil leaves, plus leaves to garnish
  • 20.00 ml toasted pine nuts
  • 1/2 garlic clove, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 160°C.
  • Spread the tomatoes on a baking tray, generously drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil, and sprinkle with seasoning. Roast for 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes begin to collapse. Let them cool before proceeding.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C and line 2 trays with baking paper. Place 1 1/2 teaspoons of cheese into a 3cm round cutter on a tray and lightly press down to form a disc. Repeat with the remaining cheese to make 24 discs, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Allow to cool on trays until reaching room temperature.
  • Prepare a vibrant pesto by combining fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, and extra parmesan in a small food processor. Pulse ingredients until finely chopped. With the processor running, gradually pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil until well combined. Alternatively, create a rustic paste by pounding the ingredients in a mortar and pestle.
  • Arrange the crisps on a platter and generously top them with pesto, tomatoes, and fresh basil before serving.
