Hey, mambo! Mambo italiano!

Appetizers


Salami and Bocconcini Bites

On a piece of thin sliced salami place one basil leaf, one half of a cherry tomato, a small bocconcini ball or a cube of fresh mozzarella and one sun-dried tomato in oil. Secure with a pick and drizzle with balsamic and olive oil.

Tomato sliced thick with bocconcini and mozzarella add a splash of EVO and Basalminc viniager



Dessert

Rustic Fig and Ricotta Tart

For the Ricotta Filling:

1lb ricotta

2 eggs

1/4 cup sugar

Orange zest

Heaping tablespoon of orange marmalade

Pinch of cinnamon

Beat together on low speed until all incorporated



On a baking sheet place parchment paper, then place your dough round on top of that and prick the bottom with a fork.

Spread ricotta mixture all over except where you're going to be folding the edges up. Then place figs on top.

Brush the top with a beaten egg or milk, bake at 375F until golden brown, check the bottom with a spatula to make sure it has a nice brown color.
