Sweet and savory

 "A surprise in every bite!" 

"Pretty, incredibly easy and different in such a delightful way." 

Bolani.  Simply the best.  One of those terrific products that works perfectly as an appetizer and could easily become a light meal with just a few additions.  I found this lightly-stuffed pastry at Whole Foods.  If you live in the SF Bay Area, you'll find Bolani vendors handing out generous samples every Sunday at the California Avenue Farmer’s Market in Palo Alto. Otherwise, Whole Food's your best bet.

Today's recipe: Spinach Bolani with a dab of cilantro pesto, garlic mint cheese and topped with their sweet jalapeno sauce.  Simple, wholesome ingredients.  It couldn't be easier to produce something so soul satisfying. 

We served the lightly stuffed bread at room temperature/which was excellent/the Bolani Guy recommended a brief toasting it in the oven until crisp/350 degrees 10-15 minutes? Cut or tear the "pie" into bite-sized pieces and serve with one or more of their delicious spreads.

Many thumbs up around our table tonight. A simple arugula, basil and fresh tomato salad from our tiny garden rounded out the meal.  Basil flowers scattered over the top of the appetizer added interest and color.

Here’s to you, Kathi.
