    BRUSCHETTA CON POMODORINI E MOZZARELLA – p. 164 Delicious twist on an old favourite antipasti. The twist here is that the sliced bufala (in my case) mozzarella is sliced and placed atop toasted bread then topped w roasted tomatoes. The toasts are then drizzled w evoo and dusted w dried oregano, S&P before placing into the oven for the cheese to melt. What emerges are flavour-packed little toasts. The juicy sweet-tart roasted cherry tomatoes work perfectly with the creaminess of the melty cheese and it only took moments for these to disappear from everyone’s plates. I really liked the use of dried oregano at this time of year when basil isn’t locally available – nor does fresh basil fare well in the oven so this too was a nice change of pace. A pleasant surprise and a dish we’ll definitely have again. Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/892459#8017824
