Caviar Antipasto

Saeid made some really lovely Antipasto last weekend.
Caviar on Hard Boiled Eggs
2 boiled eggs sliced
top with each egg with 1/4 tsp Caviar
I couldn't let Saeid have all the caviar fun so I made these:
Caviar on Cucumber
1/4 English Cucumber, pealed and sliced
2 Tab Cream Cheese
2 Tab Thick Greek Yogurt
2 Chopped Green Onions
Caviar
Mix the cream cheese and yogurt together. Add the green onions and cover each cucumber slice with 'cream yogurt'. Top with each slice with 1/4 tsp of caviar or capers.

Saeid also made some tasty Italian Antipasto. The hot cherry pepper were my fav!

Italian Dinner

We had a great Italian dinner this weekend. For antipasto we had olives, beef, parmesan and focaccia.
Rosemarie, Basil, and Garlic Focaccia
2 1/2 cups flour (1/2 of which whole wheat)
salt
yeast
Mix with about 1 cup of warm water, the dough should be soft but not sticky.
Let rise and then press out in oiled pan. Top with olive oil, chopped herbs and very finely chopped garlic. I used a smoked garlic. Finish with salt and pepper.
Bake at 200c for 30 min or until the bread is golden brown.

A butter knife??? This rib-eye was that soft. I seasoned it with salt, pepper and olive oil and cooked it on a very hot grill pan for 3min a side.
Finish the meal off with a spinach, basil, tarragon, mandarin and feta salad. Little and fresh.
