These are so simple and quick to make and they’re an ideal way of using up day-old French stick.  You can be as creative as you like with the toppings.  I tend to use whatever we have in…

(Serves 2)

• 1 French stick
• Drizzle of olive oil
• Drizzle of maple syrup
• Passata
• One organic red onion – peeled and sliced
• Couple of handfuls of organic mushrooms – sliced
• 1 organic green pepper – sliced
• Green olives – de-stoned and sliced

1. Fry the onions on a low heat with a drizzle of olive oil and maple syrup to caramelise
2. Cut the French stick in half and slice down the middle
3. Grill the crusty side of the bread under the grill for a few minutes
4. Spread the passata over the bread
5. Meanwhile gently fry the peppers and mushrooms in a little olive oil
6. Assemble the onion, peppers, mushrooms and sliced green peppers on the bread
7. Pop back under the grill for a few minutes
8. Serve with a green salad
