Mozzarella with Basil

Course Appetizer
Servings 2 People

Ingredients

  • Mozzarella
  • 10-15 basil leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Blend the ingredients into a smooth paste and coat the cheese with it.

Notes

This can be used as the start of a great salad--toss with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, artichoke hearts, etc.
Additional Comments:
The easiest method of preparation is with a mortar and pestle because of the small amount. It tends to get lost in a blender or food processor, unless you have one of those nifty tiny food processors.

Blue Cheese and Apples with Balsamic Vinegar

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c Blue Cheese crumbled 
  • 1/2 c Sweet Apple diced firm 
  • 1 Tbsp Shallot or Red Onion diced 
  • 2-3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 c Toasted Pecans chopped 
  • Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Toss all ingredients together and use immediately.

Notes

This is good added in a salad or as a sandwich on a really good bread or roll--great with turkey.
Additional Comments:
From Chef Audrey: I like to start with a firm chunk of blue cheese and cut into squares, knowing it won't really end up as squares because it will crumble. The already crumbled blue cheese tends to have a lot of really small pieces which I don't like.
