The Nutty Goat Recipes

THE FIERY GOAT

Steps:

• In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, combine the olive oil, garlic and onion. Cook over high heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the paprika, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the onion starts to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour in the wine and let it reduce for about 1 minute while stirring. Add the tomatoes, roasted peppers and a dash of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the liquid has cooked off, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
• Top the tomato and pepper mixture with the goat cheese, lightly pressing the slices into the sauce. Broil until the cheese is deep golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle over the parsley and lemon zest. Serve hot with crostini and crackers to dip.

Add the walnuts to the salad. Spread honey onto the bread, then add round slices of the goat cheese and put under a grill or oven broiler for about 1-2 minutes until the cheese is a bit melted and the bread browned at the edges.
