A decedent spread that wins raves at potlucks and dinner parties. Rich and flavourful, it's perfect served with whole grain crackers or grilled bread. Thanks to my co-worker Melanie for the AWESOME recipe! Note that 1/2 cup of pesto can be substituted for the fresh herbs - it saves time and waste if you don't have a use for the rest of the herbs! Ingredients:
8 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, sliced |
1/2 cup kalamata olive, sliced |
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, sliced |
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped |
1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, more to taste |
Directions:
1. Arrange cheese in a shallow dish in a single layer. Scatter olives, sundried tomatoes and basil over and around it.
2. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and pepper. Pour over cheese.
3. Marinate a few hours in the fridge or overnight. Serve at room temperature with grilled or fresh bread.
