The BBB – Hints and Tips

The BBB is a large savoury dish – it will serve 4 huge appetites and 9 smaller – the small measuring 7.5/8 cms or 3”x 3” in old money.

You might be saying to yourself “I never have that much French bread/baguette left over, let alone stale”. That's fine – say hello to the latest addition to your Store Cupboard – the part baked baguette. If you've never used the product now might be a good time to start. Each pack contains 2 baguettes and weighs 300g, it takes 12 minutes to bake.

Let the baguettes cool, then cut into small slices – you'll get 12 per baguette. You won't use the ends, or heels as they are known.

You can make this dish what you want it to be – veggie as per the recipe, add ham hock, sausages, bacon or whatever you fancy for a mid week supper. If you want to be a little more fancy to serve as a brunch or a supper fry diced chorizo, set that aside and then use the oil to stir fry thin slithers of baby sweet peppers and fine asparagus (I blanch it for 10 seconds after having snapped the stems and discarding the woody unappetising ends).
