Introduction:
Whilst typing away listening to the brand new tunes from Daft Punk’s new album Random Access Memories, the urge for a spot of tiffin took hold. Now, I am pretty partial to spending two days in the kitchen to create and cook dinner for a few friends; in fact I get incredible pleasure from such a feat, but there are times that only a 10-minuter will suffice. I have just seen that Jamie Oliver’s 20-minute meals is topping the book lists at the moment, so there is an obvious interest out there for food that is quick, clever and cheerful.
Most of my ‘quick’ lunches are not really blog material; I mean there’s not too much one can say about peanut butter on a stick of celery or opening a tin of tuna and mixing it with rice. But just for a little bit of a challenge I thought it would be cracking if I could create a grand looking lunch using only what was available in my kitchen with the time limit of 10 minutes.
Without thinking about a name for this concoction until writing this particular sentence, I am going to call it 10-Minute Melbourne Bruschetta.
A review of the Daft Punk album goes along the lines of a “mix of disco, soft rock, and prog-pop, along with some Broadway-style pop bombast and even a few pinches of their squelching stadium-dance aesthetic”. I am not sure I have the linguistic capability to transpose such a description to this dish, suffice to say that it was brill.
