Terrific accompaniment to thick soups and stews...

| A twist on the dependable Cheese Scone, metaphorically & figuratively 'Tasted lovely.' 'Good flavour.' 'Wow!' Tasters |
Sweet scones are always a popular choice; savoury ones appear less on dining tables but always, always impress.
67's Cheese & Chive or Frugal Savoury Sardine Pinwheels have a good following.
Now, try this: Cheese 'n Onion with Tomato. They are a terrific twist on a classic recipe and are an incredibly more-'ish substitute for bread with thick soups and stews.
The recipe is not difficult but be careful with the tomato paste - you want streaks of flavour, not a faint hum in the background. The green shoots of spring onions, washed, patted dry and finely sliced can replace onion granules.
