It just so happens …

that I've got a loaf of soda bread in my freezer which will do very nicely for the base of the goats' cheese toasts. I know that the point of the recipe is to encourage you to preserve your own lemons but I also happen to know that Waitrose is the place where I can buy preserved lemons in a jar and good ones too. For those who don't want to preserve their own I can highly recommend Belazu Lemons - £2.13 for 350g – 220g drained.

If you look at the page in the magazine (p.67) you'll see that the home-made jar of lemons is bright lemon in colour. If you buy a jar then you'll notice two things – their colour is dull and the fruits are smaller. To show what I'm waffling on about, here's a photo of both :




It just goes to show that a last minute decision can pay off, the “toasts” went down a storm. They are quick and easy to prepare and the dressing is just yum!

Here's what they look like :




I know I've used this expression in the past but, now and again it really pays to fly by the seat of your pants. I would never normally produce any recipe in class without it being tried and tested but these little beauties looked so tempting I couldn't resist!

Well done Waitrose Food.
