Dip For The Stars
This dip was amazing. I just made a half recipe for a New Years Eve party, but I thought I'd try a sample first, so I made a smaller version in a small Tupperware container (1/2 cup). I just meant to taste it (really), but ended up eating the whole sample with toasted baguette and a glass of red wine. I just couldn't stop myself. I used ingredients I had on hand, so I omitted the pine nuts and subbed sun dried basil feta for regular feta. I also subbed 1 1/2 TBSP finely chopped sweet onion for the shallot and vodka for the for the vermouth. It was completely awesome! Before I used them, I spread the sundried tomatoes and pesto on quartered paper towels to remove excess oil. I also whirled the sun dried tomatoes in the food processor, then layered as follows: sun dried tomatoes, cheese mixture, pesto, then another layer of cheese mixture. I had no problems with excess oil on my serving plate. Thanks Dana!
