Rosemary Garlic Croutons from St. Augustine

"I had the pleasure of eating these while I went to visit our new friends in St. Augustine. It was so cold there(much colder than in Orlando) and I would be so happy to sit down to a bowl of soup with these croutons! I think these are simply great! Try them and let me know what you think:-)"

directions

  • Trim the crusts from the slices of bread.
  • Cut into 1/2 inch (1cm) cubes.
  • Keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a skillet or frying pan on moderately low flame.
  • While the oil is heating, crush the clove of garlic and rosemary, separately, using your mortar and pestle.
  • You can also crumble the rosemary between the palms of your hands if you like.
  • I personally like to crush it to bring out the flavour to the fullest.
  • Now, add the crushed garlic to the moderately hot oil and cook for a minute, stirring continuously until it is golden.
  • Remove the garlic.
  • Toss in the bread cubes and crushed/crumbled rosemary.
  • Cook these awesome croutons, tossing lightly, until they are lightly browned all over.
  • Sprinkle with salt to taste.
  • Remove from the skillet or pan and transfer onto paper towels to drain.
  • Serve over soup (if they last that long!).
