Making these Garlicky Caprese rolls I remembered my years teaching as a speech correctionist. I loved most part of it, but I do also remember the odd mornings and the garlic breath on some of my learners. Oh my gosh, there is nothing worse than a day-old garlic breath. YOU try and correct a child’s lisp when he had garlic bread, or even worse garlic polony for supper. I shudder just thinking about it….
Yet some recipes will just not be the same without this pungent herb. Who can resist lamb chops grilled to perfection with garlic and rosemary , a winter-warming roasted garlic, butternut and corn risotto or Anel’s Pasta sauce that asks for a whopping 8 cloves of garlic……. all so unforgettably delicious…
I love using garlic and when we make garlic rolls, we have a general rule in the house, everyone MUST eat some, otherwise someone will always be offended!
Anyway offended or not, I got my idea for these very simple Garlicky Caprese rolls from the classic Caprese Salad and it is lovely to serve with a hearty soup or as side dish at your next braai.
Make as many as you wish, by just increasing the ingredients. I will give the basic idea…
