Goat Cheese with Bell Pepper Dressing

Everyone raves about this appetizer - it has wonderful flavour and great presentation. * To toast pine nuts, preheat the oven to 450F. Place the nuts in a shallow pan and roast, stirring often for 2 minutes. Do not overcook, for pine nuts burn easily.

Ingredients

Directions

1. In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add diced bell peppers and saute 5 minutes or until tender; reduce heat to medium-low. Add garlic, rosemary, coriander, fennel, pepper, thyme, bay leaf, and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Simmer mixture 5 minutes, to blend flavors. Remove from heat. Season to taste with coarse salt. Cool to room temperature. 2. Arrange goat cheese on platter; spoon dressing over top. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve with baguette slices. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
