Ingredients:


8 tablespoons virgin olive oil

1 medium red onion -- chopped 1/4 inch dice

8 medium green plum tomatoes - -- (abt 1 1/2 lbs), -- chopped 1/2 inch dice

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 cup sugar

2 tablespoons salt

6 ounces dry white wine

8 ounces fresh soft goat cheese -- preferably coach farm

1/4 cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley

4 tablespoons freshly-ground black pepper

1/2 cup tapenade -- (black olive paste),

2 tablespoons paprika
 

Preparation / Directions:


* Note: See the "Tapenade (Black Olive Paste)" recipe which is included in this collection. In a large 12- to 14-inch sauté pan heat the olive oil and sauté the onion and tomatoes over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until softened, but not browned. Add red pepper flakes, sugar, salt and wine, bring to a boil and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the mixture becomes porridge-like. Set aside. Form the goat cheese into 4 balls. Roll each ball sequentially in the chopped parsley and then the black pepper, pressing lightly so first the parsley and then black pepper adhere nicely. Set aside. In the center of 4 plates, place one quarter of the green tomato marmalade. Set a goat cheese truffle on top. Spoon some of the Tapenade over each truffle, sprinkle rim of plate the paprika and serve. Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the TV FOOD NETWORK - (Show # MB-5623)
