This is fabulous. I added a tiny bit of smoked paprika, and left off the tomato only because my garden has no ripe ones right now. :-( This was soooo good. We scooped it up with our bread and talked about using it to toss with pasta, too. I can think of lots of ways this would be good -- as a spread on a veggie sandwich, layered in a 7-layer chip dip, the possibilities keep going! Thanks, Engrossed!

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
