Recipe of the Week – Oven-dried Tomatoes
Oven-dried Tomatoes
(from www.emealsforyou.com/Appetizers/Oven-driedTomatoes)
We are back from our Food Fest week in NJ. Surprisingly everything went as planned; I think that is a first. The dinner party on Thursday was a success; we were able to accommodate everyone, the non-meat eater, the non-fish eater and the gluten intolerant. The ” normal” people enjoyed it as well. One of our appetizers appears in the photo above: Oven-dried Tomatoes.
I will be highlighting more of the meal in detail in the coming weeks but here is the menu: Appetizers: Oven-dried Tomatoes and TJ’s Special Dipping Sauce with French baguettes. Main course: Osso Buco of Veal and also Osso Buco of Monkfish, Italian salad and White Beans with Spinach. Dessert: Oven-roasted Pears with Blue Cheese Fondant and Pine Nut Brittle and Tiramisu.
Just to make life more interesting I cooked the meal at our friend Jean’s house. The main event for the week, the wedding celebration party for my brother-in-law and his wife, was at my mother-in-law’s on Saturday, we had 36 people. I must be a glutton for punishment as it is difficult at best to cook in someone else’s kitchen much less cook two complete meals in two different kitchens.
Anyway, here you are; Oven-dried Tomatoes enjoy!
