The Best Finger Food Ever

"I got this recipe from my boss. She made this dish and left it in the fridge for my friend and I while I was dog-sitting for her. It was so good we ate the whole thing within the first four hours that we were there. The ingredients are so versatile. If you don't like garlic stuffed olives omit them. If you don't like spicy, leave out the pepper, and feel free to add whatever sounds good to you!"

  1. Do you roast the red peppers yourself or do you canned roasted red peppers.
     
  2. Hi. This sounds delish. Are the pepperoncini fresh or pickled? Thank you

  1. delicious i will continue to make this recipe.
     
  2. Wow, this is great, even with "in a hurry/lazy" changes. I used canned olives and mushrooms, & 1 small hot pepper that I found in the back of the freezer. Then threw everything (except bread) into food processor and hit pulse a few times. We even took this to a fancy schmancy gourmet group, and they loved it.
     
  3. Am not a big fan of this kind of finger food, but some friends of mine are, so I decided to make it for them! They loved it, & I have to admit that it really was pretty good [even good enough to make several times since then!]! I was going to give it 4 stars, but my insistant friends said, "No, way, man! It's OUTSTANDING!" So..... Thanks for the post!
     
  4. This was great. Everyone who had some is asking me for the recipe. I accidentally bought crumbled feta and sliced pepperoncinis, so I decided to go with the chopped theme and sliced the olives too. This way we were able to scoop the ingredients up onto the bread, which was very good. But next time I think I'll try to make it exactly as stated because I like the "finger food" idea.
     
  5. This was a huge hit at the neighborhood potluck party to which I took it! I added some lemon olives as well as kalamata olives and had 4 roasted peppers. Served with both a french baguette and a seeded one. It was consumed enthusiastically, and down to the last drop of the yummy seasoned oil. Super easy to make--you just throw it all together. :-)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've lived in Tucson for about five years now, and the experience has been great for my palate! For those of you that don't know, Tucson is a culinary Mecca; tons of amazing flavors, foods, and restaurants to investigate. The above photo is a picture of my husband and I on our wedding day. He's the light of my life, and the main reason I'm glad I moved out here to the desert because I never would have met him if I hadn't!! To top it off, he's a great eater. It doesn't matter what I make, even if he doesn't like it he tells me between bites. (haha!) He loves my obsession with the Zaar because he's been eating really well since I started with the site. We recently bought our first house which is a starter home that we are working very hard on remodeling. Anyone with free advice for newbie homeowners lemme know because it has been a whirlwind!! I am currently a full time employee at the UofA (GO WILDCATS!) and I love my job and the people that I work with. I am also a part time student seeking a Masters degree in Administration. I can't wait to be finished so that I can relax for a little while, cook, work on my house, and play with my two beautiful children who are pictured below (yes I'm aware that they are dogs, but they are OUR kids!!) The one on the left is our little blue heeler mix that we call Rumplestiltzkin (Bumpy for short) and the one on the left is the sweetest Chow Retriever Mix you'll ever meet. His name is Gaizen. The picture of the two dippy looking people on Segways is one of my husband and I in Disney World this last October. We were soooo lucky to beable to go on the segway tour it was loads of fun! The cutie patutie right beside us is my little niece Rylee who I don't get to see nearly enough since my sister live in Ohio. She's couldn't be sweeter if you spread icing on her. The picture of the cake is one that I made for my DH's 27th birthday because he loves fish tanks. Anyone that wants the ingredients and how to build it lemme know it's really easy!! My Rating System: 5 stars-RUN don't walk to your grocery store, buy the ingredients and make this! 4 stars-Great recipe and I want to try it again but would probably make changes to it 3 stars-Pretty good recipe that I liked but probably will only make occasionally I don't like to give less than three stars because everyone is different and has different taste buds. I also will not give a recipe less than four stars if I myself made changes to the recipe and then didn't like the way it turned out. If I screw a recipe up entirely (I have been known to do this especially with baked goods) I don't bother even rating it. The one thing that is really hard to say here at the Zaar is "I will definitly make this again" not because soooo many recipes that I have tried are not worthy of making again, but because there are so many more out there that I haven't tried yet! Every time I think of repeating one of my favorites I find myself on here about to look it up, and then finding something just as interesting, unique, and delicious sounding that I just have to try!! <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/222/511934835_9dc466e9a4_o.gif"> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2615117960101094834lSUnIG"><img src="http://inlinethumb44.webshots.com/3371/2615117960101094834S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="100_0499"></a> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2169702170101094834MvnIXR"><img src="http://inlinethumb33.webshots.com/4704/2169702170101094834S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="segways"></a> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2370200530101094834irjqOJ"><img src="http://inlinethumb48.webshots.com/2607/2370200530101094834S200x200Q85.jpg" alt="rylee"></a> <a href="http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2499141710101094834tsCHNl"><img src="http://inlinethumb06.webshots.com/4485/2499141710101094834S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="dan's cake"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a209/tlonghorn/banners/BBQ2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>
