Italian Chopped Salad in Warm Rosemary Bread Shells

ingredients

2 pkg. (14 oz. each) Hearth Fired Artisan Rosemary Olive Oil Petite Loaves
1 pkg. (about 8 to 10 oz.) Italian blend lettuce, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped cucumber
3 oz. provolone cheese, diced (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
1 tbsp. chopped shallot
1 tbsp. chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
2 tsp. chopped fresh fresh oregano leaves
1 tsp. chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 small clove garlic, minced
directions

1. Bake and cool the bread according to the package directions. Slice about 1/4 off the top of the loaf of bread and set aside. Pull out the bread in chunks, leaving a 1/4-inch thick shell. Cut the bread chunks into 1/2-inch cubes.

2. Stir lettuce, cucumber, cheese, red onion and reserved bread in a large bowl.

3. Beat the oil, vinegar, shallot, parsley, oregano, basil, sugar, black pepper and garlic with a whisk or a fork in a small bowl. Season to taste. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture, tossing until lightly coated.

4. Divide the salad mixture among the bread shells. Serve immediately with reserved bread slice. Makes 4 loaves.

Oven-Roasted Potatoes with Bacon and Rosemary


6 pounds of new potatoes, quartered or halved -- depends on size
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
6 oz bacon, chopped, fried
1/4 cup olive oil
2 T crumbled dried rosemary or 8 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 tsp salt
pepper to taste

Par boil the potatoes until barely fork tender (still firm), about 15 minutes. Do Not overcook the potatoes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Drain potatoes and let cool for a few minutes. Using all the butter, coat the bottom and sides of a shallow pan. Toss potatoes, bacon, olive oil, seasonings, rosemary together and put into shallow pan. Roast, turning often, until all the fat is absorbed and the potatoes are crisp -- 60-90 minutes.

Serve with a few sprigs of rosemary.

Tomato Dumplings


1 quart stewed tomatoes

2 T butter

sugar to taste



1 Make a batch of dumplings...these can be made from a simple bread type dough of flour, water and shortening.

2 Heat the tomatoes, butter and sugar together in a saucepan large enough to drop the dumplings on top.

3 Once the tomato mixture is hot, add the dumplings and then cook on you stovetop until the dumplings are done.

I love those! I just make some kind of noodle dish or mashed potatoes and some frozen veggies!

How about a rice pilaf and a green salad? Even maybe a pasta salad?

Roasted sweet potatoes with coarse sea salt and cracked pepper, and fresh snap green beans drizzled with garlic lemon vinaigrette.

Mashed potatoes, leeks and onions.
