"Elaine's Late"- Stuart Wood "Stone Barrington series" - pgchin - 02-19-2013 16:57
Ok, I'll bite!
So in an effort stay off the internet and broaden my horizons, I've gone back to reading books, something I used to do and enjoy. Nothing like a glass of your favorite beverage, under the awning of your bird, late in the afternoon as the sun sets!
Anyway, one of Stuart Woods fictional character book series has a guy named Stone Barrington. He ALWAYS get's the girl like 007 (sorry,Jenn, I don't write'em, just read'em ) So he has this Italian decent girlfriend in one of his books that cooks him a fabulous meal and a little appetizer to go with their drinks. I've made this many times and Donna and I both love it!!!! So he ya go...........-Italian, french or cuban bread, your choice sliced about 1/2 inch thick 8-10 slices
- 3-4 cloves of garlic chopped and diced
- 3-4 bright red Roma tomato's or any tomato variety you like
- 1 small onion diced of your favorite variety
- olive oil
Use butter or margarine and spread on 1 side of the slices, add a little garlic and Italian seasoning, put in the oven or toaster oven on broil to melt the whole thing like you are making mini garlic bread slices
Dice the tomatoes very finely with a large knife but a sharp clever works best. In a small frying pan, coat with olive oil, add the diced tomatos, onions, and a little garlic and Italian seasoning, cover and cook on medium heat for about 8 minutes until the tomatos and onions are tender.
Remove from heat. Add some shredded cheese (like krafts or Sargento's 6 combo Italian cheese) to taste and stir to make a paste.
Spread the paste on the cooked mini garlic breads and enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Busted!!!!! Thanks Rich for helping me out, I actually had a memory meltdown and forgot the name!!!!!! It seems to be happening a lot lately!
FWIW I love this stuff too but the "doc" says cut the high cholesterol stuff out buddy(the actual original recipe) so I worked this one to be a little more "doctor" friendly with minimal taste loss!!!!! Thanks again for helping me out!
