Tuesday, we had a lovely visitor come to dinner ... my friend Meghan. What a delight! In my excitement of seeing her, I completely forgot about taking photos of the meal but this is what we had:
1. Leftover pizza re-heated ... loooove pizza left-overs ... the crust has that extra crispy CRUNCH and the flavors have had time to co-mingle and become better acquainted.
2. Greek Caponata - which essentially is roasted vegetables over a layer of crushed tomatoes.
3. Greek Salad... YUM. Got this recipe off the Food Network, which I will pass along below:
Greek Salad - serves 6
Ingredients:
Cucumber
1 Red Bell Pepper, large diced
1 Yellow Bell Pepper, large diced
1 Pint Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, halved
1\2 Red Onion, sliced in rounds and halved
1\2lb. feta, 1\2" diced
1\2 cup kalamata olives, pitted
Vinaigrette:
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. oregano
1\2 tsp. dijon mustard
1\4 cup red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1\2 cup olive oil
1. Place ingredients (minus the feta and olives) in large bowl
2. For vinaigrette, whisk together garlic, oregano, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Slowly add olive oil while continuing to whisk to make an emulsion.
3. Pour vinaigrette over the vegetable mixture. Add feta and olives and toss. Set aside for 30mins. Serve at room temperature.
p.s. the sad photos above are of our left-overs on Wednesday ... not as glorious looking as the first night. Isn't that always the case? Doesn't look as impressive but somehow always tastes a little better?
