Easy Italian appetizer.....

[parrotheada1a]

So summer is almost over and the tasty tomatoes will be gone from New England for another year. So what's the pitmaster to do but thank Giada for a classic Italian app.....

A 3/8'' slice of tomato, salt & pepper, dried oregano + fresh Basil leaves, with a thinner slice of fresh mozzarella on top. FYI, the tomato's are about 2 1/2'' around. I kinda picked the size so the cheese would sit on top.

Those get wrapped with prosciutto, then plated. Green olives, plus pickled jalapenos on the side (gotta have some heat) ....

Halved white mushrooms on go on the plate, a couple more turns of fresh ground pepper, and a good splash of EV olive oil.

Mangia foodies! I should point out that these shouldn't be made too far ahead of serving. The tomato kinda starts to break down from the salt, and makes a bit of a delicious mess.

This will be served at our house within the week, because it looks awesome. And easy.

And because it's from...

Giada!

Giada is so fine, I'd wrap her in some prosciutto and... you get the picture.

So - how am I supposed to concentrate on work now that I'm imagining Giada in a prosciutto bikini....

Depends on what you're working on.




Ok now I'm just being creepy.

Well, you can't have that,
but if you are an American citizen you are entitled to...
a heated kidney shaped pool,
a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook,
a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
a kingsize Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum,
a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
real simulated Indian jewelry, a Gucci shoetree,
a year's supply of antibiotics,
a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number,
a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
a dream date in kneepads with...

GIADA!!!!

No need to be humble brotha. Your food threads are remarkable. I have never seen stuff look so dang good.

Thanks to my rabbit trail this thread is playing mind games with me. Every time I see the thread title, 'Easy Italian Appetizers....' and think of the Giada pics in the thread....




BTW - I will be making the appetizer sometime this weekend. It just looks too dang tasty not to make....

My favorite quote about Giada from the 'net...

'I watched her show (Everyday Italian) for a week before I figured out it was about food...'
