My sincere thanks to Sako (@ssv3) on this one. A recent cook he posted had me wanting to try my hand at Focaccia and grilled veggies for dinner. So here goes. I've honestly never made Focaccia before so this is a first.
I made up the dough late this morning, fairly easy to put together, very easy to handle due to the EVOO and let it rise for an hour or so. No pics of dough rising but here it is just out of the oven. Seasoned one half with Pasta Sprinkle seasoning, the other with Basil Pesto. It all gets coated with Sun-dried Tomatoes, EVOO and lots of Sea Salt -
What veggies to grill (or griddle) for dinner? Eggplant and Small Portabella Mushrooms will be done quickly on the Blackstone -
Coming along nicely -
Better looking picture of the Focaccia. Yep, the Sun-dried Tomatoes do get somewhat toasted but they retain their distinctive taste -
Dinner, sort of on a Tapas theme, is ready. Focaccia, Eggplant, Mushrooms, Garden Cherry Tomatoes, Garden Basil, Olives, Cheddar and Cotija along with some Basil infused EVOO and Cranberry Pear White Balsamic for dipping -
My plate -
Dinner can be satisfying once in a while without meat. :-D
Again, my thanks to Sako for the inspiration for tonite's dinner!
And as always, thanks for reading through this post.
