Hope your new year has started wonderfully. I found a lovely and unexpected combination of flavors - grapes, onion, vinegar and goat cheese together are something that I will definitely return to again.
Let the new year be full of happiness, lovely surprises, new challenges, joy and dreams. Let it be about things that are important to us, things we love, enjoy and are passionate about. Let's make it our own. Happy 2011!
Ingredients (makes 15)
- 1 baguette
- 7 ounces (200 g) soft goat cheese
{ salsa }
- 18 ounces (500 g) red grapes
- 1 red onion
- fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- salt & pepper
Slice the baguette and toast the slices quickly in the oven until crispy. Chop the grapes and onion. Finely chop some parsley. Mix in a bowl and add in red wine vinegar. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Spread a generous layer of goat cheese on the bread slices. If the goat cheese seems too stiff, mix in a splash of milk to make it more spreadable. Spoon a big spoonful of grape salsa on top and serve.
