Mediterranean Dip


Following is a wonderful recipe that my friend Shelby made us last night at our Fall Happy Hour (well happy hour for all those who aren't nursing a baby!). My wine comes after baby D is fast asleep. Thanks Cathy & Shelby for having us and thanks Shelby for such a great dip. I plan to try it as a spread on paninis and make garlic bread with it as well...yum!


Mediterranean Dip

Chopped Tomatoes (I use 5+ roma)
One Jar of Kalamata Olives Chopped
One Garlic Bulb Chopped or use the pre-chopped garlic and do three big spoon full(s)(tons of garlic)
Two packages of Fresh Basil Chopped
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Red Pepper Flake to Taste
Olive Oil
Two tubes of plain Goat Cheese

Mix the first seven ingredients together and let it marinate for a minimum of 15 minutes. Crumble cheese and mix into the other ingredients. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until it bubbles.

Serve with mini toast, pita chips, pita or a crusty bread

Enjoy!
