HERB TOASTS
These toasts are nice with dips and I also serve them with soups. Pita bread is a good substitute; they are smaller so use a few extra. This also works with tortillas, but then you don't split them.

Steps:
- In a small sauté pan over medium heat, toast the pumpkin seeds or pepitas with a little salt to just heat through and color a bit. Set aside for the salad.
- In the same pan, heat the oil with the garlic clove and the cumin, paprika and cayenne, stirring until it smells spicy. Take care not to burn. Set aside.
- Pass the tomatoes through the medium plate of a food mill set over a nonreactive bowl. (If you don't have a food mill, use a cheese grater.) Add 1/4 cup cold water.
- Scrape the spices and oil into the tomato purée, discarding the garlic. Stir in the salt, pepper, lemon juice, Angostura bitters, Worcestershire sauce and cilantro sprigs. Taste for seasoning, cover and refrigerate.
- Assemble the salad: Put the sautéed pumpkin seeds, celery, watercress and arugula, scallion, cucumber and cilantro into a bowl. Dress with the oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Toss lightly.
- Divide the salad among 4 plates, with 2 toasts on each. Gently spoon a teaspoon or so of goat cheese onto each toast. Divide the tomato juice (discarding the cilantro stems) among 4 tumblers. Add a sliver of lemon, a couple of ice cubes, a grind of black pepper and a sprig of cilantro over each and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Bread: Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings, such as a baguette, ciabatta, or sourdough.
- Slice the Bread Properly: Cut the bread into even slices, about 1/2-inch thick, to ensure even toasting.
- Generously Brush with Olive Oil: Brush the bread slices with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven and add flavor.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, so use them whenever possible. If using dried herbs, use about 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe.
- Spread the Toppings Evenly: Spread the herb mixture, cheese, and any other toppings evenly over the bread slices to ensure each bite is flavorful.
- Bake at a High Temperature: Bake the toasts at a high temperature, around 400°F (200°C), to quickly crisp up the bread and melt the cheese.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the toasts while they're baking to prevent them from burning. The baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the bread and the toppings used.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the herb toasts immediately while they're hot and crispy. They can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
