Expanding your summer repertoire

Bolani, the wonderful Afghani flatbread, is back in the blog.

For good reason.  Each time I serve it, I receive the same response:  Love the mix of textures, flavors, colors.  

My only addition has been edible flowers and/or herbs from our garden.  And, as much as I’ve shared this flaky pastry with friends and family, no one has tired of consuming new combinations. 

My current favorite:  Pumpkin Bolani topped with garlic mint cheese, sun-dried tomato hummus and finished off with sweet jalapeño jelly.

Thanks to Anne’s ingenuity, a thorough search of the site revealed that they do indeed ship across the country.  So what was originally found only in Bay Area Farmer’s Markets and Whole Foods can be enjoyed on both coasts and everywhere in between.  Shop and ship here:  http://www.bolaniandsauce.com/pgallery.php.

If you live on the SF Peninsula, enjoy generous samples each Sunday at the California Avenue Farmer’s Market, Palo Alto, CA.

Be sure to check out their website, http://www.bolaniandsauce.com/home.php, for additional recipes.   "Recipe" is too big a word for the little effort it takes to enjoy something so flavorful.

Bolani continues to be my top pick for a super fast/incredibly easy/definitely delicious appetizer or light meal. 

What about you?  What easy/fresh/flavorful ideas beyond Bolani do you have for simplifying summer meals and/or entertaining?
