Winter Tartine


Tartine! Or, you know, an open faced sandwich. But isn't tartine a much nicer way to say it? I think so. These are also the only photos from the weekend, I can't resist June's yawning, sweet face in the afternoon light and these sandwiches, though ugly, need to shared!

Saturday was a beautiful, spring-like day. I spent it shopping, drinking wine outside and wearing sandals. And then Sunday came. Rain and temps in the mid-60s and falling left me feeling pretty curmudgeonly. So, for lunch, I threw these little guys together to share with A. I typed up some steps below, but it's too simple to really even call a recipe. Endless combinations are possible, and it kept us full right through dinnertime. So we drank wine instead of eating, and it was the best choice I made all weekend.

We used:
Sourdough bread -- If you're in Jackson, Rainbow's sourdough is delicious!
Herbed goat cheese -- I just take plain goat cheese and whip in fresh basil, parsley, tarragon and thyme. You can buy it pre-mixed or use whatever you like most.
A carmelized mix of onion, red peppers and mushrooms -- let the onions and peppers cook down first, on medium heat in < 1 tablespoon oil. Add in mushrooms and saute it all on medium for 10 minutes.
Toast the bread while the mushroom mix finishes, spread the bread with goat cheese and top with the mushrooms. I finely chopped some basil and sprinkled it across the top. Done and done.
