Bread Toppers

Sweet Red Pepper Spread

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with foil. Place on foil

2 medium red bell peppers or 7 ounce jar roasted red bell peppers (don't roast or peel peppers from jar and don't substitute yellow, orange, or green peppers)

Bake for 20 minutes or until dark and blistered, turning every 5 minutes. Place in paper or plastic bag and fold over to close. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel off blackened skin and discard along with seeds and membrane. Don't worry if some of the skin sticks to the pepper.

Puree peppers with

2 tablespoons Dried Tomato Paste or extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, 2 cloves roasted garlic, or 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
dash or two of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper

Spread on whole grain breads, large croutons, Protein Pizza crust, whole grain cheeseless pizzas ... (doesn't work well with crackers as it's so moist)


Crudite Spreads and Dips

Garlic Dip

Puree:

1 block firm tofu
6 heads roasted garlic
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worchestershire sauce

You'll need to stop and scrape quite a lot to get a smooth sauce.


Salad or Savory Mousse Cups

Tomato Cups: cut a thin slice off the bottom of a regular sized or cherry tomato so that it stands up without rolling. Cut the upper 1/3 off the top of the tomato (reserve for another salad). With a melon baller scoop out the interior of the tomato, leaving the skin and outer flesh intact. The tomato guts can be reserved to use in a soup or stew. Use a melon baller or ice-cream scoop to fill with almost, but not quite gelled mousse. Allow mousse to finish gelling in cup.

Potato Cups: boil small red potatoes in salted water until soft but not falling apart. You may leave the skin on, or remove it by rubbing the potatoes under running water with a dish cloth. Cut a thin slice off one end of the potato so that it stands up without rolling. Cut the upper third off the other end of the potato (reserve for another use). With a melon baller scoop out the interior of the potato leaving a 1/4 inch thick shell. Use a melon baller to fill with almost, but not quite gelled mousse. Allow mousse to finish gelling in cup.

Cucumber Cups: Cut both ends of a cucumber. Cut cucumber into 2 inch long cyclinders. Remove peel from each cylinder in strips so that it has a green and white stripe pattern. Use a melon baller to remove seeds, stopping 1/4 inch from the bottom so that you now have a 2-inch tall, green and white striped, mousse cup. Use a melon baller to fill with almost, but not quite gelled mousse. Allow mousse to finish gelling in cup.
