Place all pesto ingredients in the
bowl of a food processor, and pulse
until combined.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush
or spread a small amount of pesto
over one side of each bread round.
Place the rounds, pesto side up, on a
baking sheet.
Slightly overlap each bruschetta
with 2 or 3 pear slices. Season with
freshly ground pepper to taste. Bake
the bruschetta for about 15 minutes
until the edges of the bread are gold-
en. Serve warm or at room tempera-
ture. Makes about 24 bruschetta.
CORN AND VIDALIA
QUESADILLAS
1 Tbsp. olive oil, plus more for
brushing on the quesadillas
2 cups chopped Vidalia or other
sweet onion
8 large tortillas or lavash (white
or whole wheat)
2 cups crumbled Spanish cheese
or Monterrey Jack
11/2 cup fresh corn, cut from the
cob
heat in many ways: an Asian chicken
lettuce wrap, a south-of-the-border
quesadilla, a Michigan-
themed salsa. And, since
the Italians are arguably
among the best cooks in the
world, I couldn't help but
include a couple of Italian
favorites: bruschetta, Italy's
favorite toast, topped with
fresh pears and basil walnut
pesto; and bagna cauda,
which translates to "warm
bath:' a luxurious olive oil
and anchovy dipping sauce.
Enjoy!
❑
11/2 cup fresh diced seeded
tomato
2 avocados, sliced thin at the last
minute
salsa for garnish
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-
stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion, and saute for
8-12 minutes until soft and golden.
Transfer the onions to a bowl, and set
aside to cool. Clean the skillet, and
set aside.
Divide the cheese, onions, corn,
tomato and avocado among the tor-
tillas, and fold the tortillas over into
half-circles. Brush one side of each
quesadilla with olive oil.
Heat the skillet over medium heat.
Place the tortillas, oiled side down, in
the skillet, and fry until golden (you
will have to make in batches). Brush
the top of the quesadillas with oil, and
turn them over to fry the other side.
Remove the cooked quesadillas
to a cutting board, and cut into 4-5
wedges. Serve immediately, or chill
and reheat uncut quesadillas on a
baking sheet at 300 degrees until hot
and crispy again. Serve with salsa,
any kind, if desired. 10-12 servings.
BAGNA CAUDA
There are many recipes for this clas-
sic Italian hot dipping sauce. My ver-
sion, with a little kick of hot pepper
sauce, is optimal for fresh vegetable
crudites, gourmet crackers, bread
sticks or sliced baguettes. Or, serve
it warm at the table instead of butter
for bread.
1 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
