Put this together yesterday. It similar to a topping you might find on Spanish tapas, but with some different ingredients. I use it for appetizers, Hor d’ oeuvres, burgers, or to top a meatloaf. Experiment… Have fun. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

    Idea #1: Soften some cream cheese, add a few spices (salt, pepper, cumin, etc.), mix in a bit of breadcrumbs for crunch, place on a tasting spoon, and top with some tomato topper. Idea #2: Same as Idea $1, except serve on toast points or crackers. Idea #3: Use it to top a meatloaf, or burger. Have fun with it. Enjoy.
