Fellow poddlings..... I love cheese and with the recent cheese talk, I thought folks might be interested in this. I get a recipe a day via e-mail and this looked interesting. I have not tried it so be your own judge. It appears obvious that certain ingredients will need to be tweaked but the basic premise sounds promising...... Marinated Mozzarella This cheese makes a great addition to your holiday buffet. Fresh mozzarella is available at large supermarkets and specialty food stores. Serves 4 1 tablespoon Basil, fresh, chopped 1/2 teaspoon Garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon Pepper 1/2 cup Olive oil 12 ounces Fresh mozzarella Whisk together the basil, garlic, pepper flakes, salt, pepper and oil. Cut the cheese into three or four large slices. Place these in the marinade. Place in the refrigerator overnight. Serve with French-style bread. ====================================== Linda
