And the magic happened. This is why we do all of the work that we do. The flavors cannot possibly translate visually.
In this bowl is half a loaf of Moosewood focaccia, cubed and toasted; several chopped tomatoes; two chopped cucumbers; 2 tablespoons of capers; a couple of tablespoons of chiffonnaded basil; half a cup of olive oil; quarter of a cup of balsamic vinegar; salt and pepper. Heavenly.
You can add a handful of cubed or grated cheese of your choice. We added cubed yogurt cheese this time and loved it (we're saving our fresh mozzarella for caprese tomorrow).
We also enjoyed the bonito tuna (from Time for Tapas) atop ritz crackers. I highly recommend it.
Food doesn't have to be fussy or formal in order to be transcendent.
