| Author Notes: |
Books like this one, based upon television shows or movies, often don't get taken seriously. Serious foodies and cookbook junkies typically dismiss them, and with good reason, as novelty items. But I have to tell you, that shouldn't be the case with Entertaining with the Sopranos. Sure it's filled with photos from the blockbuster HBO television series. And sure, fans of the show will enjoy reading the text, entertainingly "written" by various characters of the show. But (and this is the important part) -- even if you have never seen the show, never will see the show, or you don't like the premise of the show -- this is a fine book on entertaining in and of itself. |
| Ingredients: |
2 ripe tomatoes 1/2 teaspoon oregano salt and freshly ground pepper 12 thin slices of Italian bread, preferably semolina bread 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese 12 anchovy fillets extra virgin olive oil |
| Instructions: |
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Cut the tomatoes in half through the core and squeeze gently to extract the seeds and juice. Trim away the core. Chop the tomatoes into half inch pieces and toss them in a bowl with the oregano, salt and pepper. Oil a large roasting pan. Arrange the bread slices on the pan. Toast the bread 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, but leave it turned on. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each piece of bread and then an anchovy. Spoon a little of the tomato on each. Drizzle with a few drops extra virgin olive oil. Return the pan to the oven and bake 5 to 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. |
