A toastie makes a quick and nourishing hot lunch, supper or snack.
To make 2 toasties, you will need to two slices of wholemeal bread from a 400g
loaf. Toast the bread on both sides, either in a toaster or under a preheated
hot grill. Do not overcook or the toast will be hard and unappetising - it should
be crisp, a pale golden brown and still slightly soft in the middle.
Note: Don't be tempted to substitute muffins, rolls
or pitta bread, or the Syns will soon mount up. Top the toast with one
of the delicious toppings listed below:

Place 4 medium-sized whole mushrooms (preferably open-cap field ones) and 2 tomatoes
cut in half on a grill pan. Spray with Fry Light and grill until tender and slightly
charred. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped parsley and place
on top of the toast.

Cook 1 small onion in a little chicken stock made with Bovril or Vecon until the onion
is tender and syrupy and has absorbed the stock. Meanwhile grill 1 small red
pepper and 1 small yellow pepper until blistered and charred. Peel, deseed and
cut the flesh into thin strips. Pile the onion on top of the toast and arrange
the peppers in criss-cross strips on top. Halve 7 stoned black olives (1 Syn)
and place in the gaps between the peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
