Sunday lunch with mozzarella

In need of some carbs, after last night's fare. We've chosen a simple dish of buffalo mozzarella on ciabatta. I've picked some fresh tomatoes and they taste superb. We also grew a small pot of basil - now you have to do this, because just one tiny leaf is bursting with so much flavour. Nothing like the supermarket pots!

We will share a pot of good mozzarella, so that's 175 calories. The ciabatta is really only the next calorific item and 100g is about 255 calories. We will probably use about 50g each, and this comes to around 125 calories. Toast this lightly after cutting lengthways and spraying with olive oil. Sprinkle chopped tomatoes on top and add the mozzarella and basil. Season with salt and pepper, and a zig zag of balsamic syrup. Add a small rocket and spinach side salad and the whole thing comes to around 350 calories. Much needed at this present moment in time!!

Here is what it looks like:


Later today we are having a full Sunday dinner with roast potatoes, chicken and garden vegetables. Some of the vegetables are from my uncle's garden too. We will eat until we are full!
