The First Pitch ...Recipe numero uno

I make this appetizer for almost every get together. It is so easy and so flavorful everyone always wants the recipe.

BRUSCHETTA

One 12 ounce jar of marinated artichokes (reserve the juice)


One cup pitted kalamata olives (reserve some of the juice from the jar)
1/2 cup roasted red peppers chopped (reserve some of the juice from the jar)
One pint to a pint and a half of cherry tomatoes
1/4-1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Flour tortillas cut into triangles

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Blend the artichokes, olives red peppers and tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup each of reserved juices.

Taste and add more juice, olives, peppers or tomatoes as desired. Blend until nearly smooth. Add parmesan cheese and blend to desired taste.

Place tortillas on a baking sheet. Cook at 375 degrees or until slightly toasted on the corners.



Serve both at or near room temperature. Couldn't be easier. Enjoy!!!
