I think the favourite is the appetizer recipe in the LCBO spring issue, Slow Roasted King Mushrooms and tomatoes with Dandelion Pesto on Crostini. But, the grilled ones were good also. If we grill them again, I would quarter them lenghtwise, then grill them. Have fun, Jean!

Oh Lorraine!!! Did we have fun with our appetizer dinner!!
Sliced a piece of Naan into strips, then layered on each:
spread goat cheese
roasted cherry tomatoes (2) - oven roasted w/salt, pepper, olive oil & honey
julienned basil
King mushroom (grilled halves, then diagonally sliced)
caramelized onion
What great flavor - but, I'm wondering about combining something so there are not so many layers and make it easier to eat (altho, it wasn't that difficult). Maybe combine the goat cheese, onion & basil, or goat cheese and tomato and onion. will have to play. But man, were these little goodies tasty!!
Then the zucchini blossoms worked out well also. I think I posted the recipe for the zucc blossom paninis... I sliced another piece of Naan into strips and topped it with:
zucchini blossoms (fried in a little olive oil until almost crisp, then cut in thirds)
used the roasted cherry tomatoes here also
topped with grated fontina cheese
Stuck under broiler. Yum! Both of the appys were really tasty.

Glad you liked them, Jean. I think mixing the onion and basil with the goat cheese would make it easier to eat. And if you put it on crostini, it makes it even harder to eat. But, not impossible. If you have any leftover mixture, add it to some chinese noodles or an omelette.

An omelette is exactly what Roy's going to do with the goodies tomorrow a.m.
