TOMATO CROÛTES WITH GREEN BEAN SALAD

 

5 tbsp olive oil

75 g crusty bread, cut into 2.5 cm cubes

75 g quick-cook polenta

1 tbsp flatleaf parsley, chopped

3 large beefsteak tomatoes, ends trimmed, each cut into 4 slices

200 g green beans, trimmed

60 g bag mixed salad leaves

4 tbsp orange juice

2 tbsp wine vinegar

pinch of mustard powder

seasoning

 

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan and fry the bread for 1 -

2 minutes, stirring constantly, until crisp. Remove and drain on kitchen

paper.

In a shallow dish, combine the polenta, parsley and plenty of seasoning.

Press both sides of each tomato slice in the polenta to coat. Add 1

tablespoon of the remaining oil to the pan and fry the coated tomatoes for

4 - 5 minutes on each side until crisp and golden.

Meanwhile, cook the green beans in lightly salted boiling water for 2

minutes. Drain, then toss with the salad leaves. Mix the orange juice, wine

vinegar, mustard powder and remaining oil together and drizzle over the

salad.

Just before serving, add the croûtons. Divide the salad between 4 serving

plates and top with the tomatoes.
