Today December 5th is in The Netherlands Sinerklaas (San Nicolas), tonight will be what the dutch call “pakjesavond” (presents evening). Well at this moment my mother is visiting us for a few days and tonight she is flying back to Spain, so we celebrated San Nicolas yesterday, that way she would also see how it is. Since San Nicolas is coming from Spain (strange) we thought that will nice to have a kind of cold tapas dinner, we had “Pan con tomate” or in English “Bread with tomato”, perfect, easy and absolutely delicious.
The only thing you need is good quality bread cut in slices, ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and a toaster. Toast the bread, when ready spread a bit of garlic on and then spread the tomatoes, sprinkle a bit of olive oil. Eat with spanish ham (jamon serrano), manchego cheese, chorizo, salami or other kind of meat. Together with a good red wine, we had a Rioja and a fresh salad, it is so good and kids will enjoy!
As dessert I made a very easy blueberries-yogurtcrumble. Some time ago I made a lot of crumble for a cake and the left overs I put in the freezer in small portions, that way I could use when needed.
The crumble I made with flour, ground almonds, bruin sugar, oatmeal, chopped almonds, ground five spices and butter. First you mix all the dry ingredients together, then add the melted butter and mix well using a wooden spoon until you have a nice mixture. Now you can freeze what you don’t need and the rest put in a baking try in a 160 degrees preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Let it cool completely before serve.
In a glass put some greek yogurt, add the crumble and some fresh blueberries, it is so good, delicious and healthy!
