ROASTED RED PEPPER - GOAT CHEESE APPETIZER

Steps:

• Swirl half of the olive oil into an attractive baking dish - 9x13 or so.
• Combine the softened Goat Cheese with the garlic, stuff gently into the Red Peppers and place them in a single layer into the baking dish. Sprinkle with the pine nuts, red pepper flakes and pepper, drizzle with remaining olive oil.
• Cut garlic bread (I use the frozen box of garlic toast) into "fingers" and kind of place them on their sides in the dish, so they will brown.
• Bake about 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

HONEY-GLAZED RED PEPPER WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Thinly slice sweet red pepper. Sauté the pepper, onion and garlic in oil 10 minutes or until onion and pepper are tender. Now add honey, vinegar, basil, salt and pepper; cook and stir over medium-high heat until nicely glazed.
• Serve on lettuce lined plates with goat cheese and toasted baguettes. Enjoy!

ROASTED MARINATED PEPPERS WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Arrange peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until blackened and soft, 25-30 minutes, turning once or twice.
• Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let stand 10 minutes (this helps steam the peppers in their skins, and makes skin removal easier).
• Meanwhile, make the marinade: combine oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, leaves from about half the thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• While peppers are still hot, slip off the skin and scrape out seeds; remove stems.
• Cut each pepper into quarters.
• Add roasted peppers to the marinade and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
• To serve, arrange peppers on 4 plates, garnish with olives, oranges and remaining thyme, and crumble goat cheese over and season with additional freshly ground pepper.
• Note: instead of all red wine vinegar, you can use 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and 1 teaspoon balsamic, for even deeper and sweeter flavor. Chopped basil is also a delicious garnish.
