1 carrot, cut into medium cubes
Some broccoli flowers
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Preparation:
Soak the mixture in water for about half an hour. Filter, rinse and then filter again.
Fry the onion in olive oil in a saucepan until translucent. Add the garlic and fry until lightly golden.

Tomato Spread with Olive Oil by 'Neptune'
Neptune (1990), a company that specializes in the development, production and marketing of spices, sauces and spreads, is launching a new spread - "Tomato Spread with added Olive Oil".

Neptune's Quesadilla with the Tomato Spread and Smoked Mozarella
Ingredients:
6 small or 3 large tortillas
1 jar of "Tomato Spread with Olive Oil" by Neptune
250 grams of smoked mozzarella cheese
A little olive oil
Variation: olives, sliced champignon mushrooms, corn, fresh sliced onions, fried onions, strips of roasted pepper, tuna fish and more.
Preparation
Grease a pan with a little oil - the diameter of which is larger than that of the tortilla. Heat and place one tortilla in the pan.
Spread tomato spread on it, and sprinkle cheese on top. Add toppings according to your preference. Leave a margin of 1/2 - 1 cm from the edges.
Cover with another tortilla, and slightly press together the margins of both.
Fry for 2-3 minutes, until the tortilla is golden-brown. Flip over, and heat for another 2 minutes, until golden.
Cut in half or in triangles, and serve.
** When using a single large tortilla, after adding the toppings, fold the tortilla in the middle and press together the edges. Fry as above.
