Ingredients:
1/3 cup peppered boursin cheese (from a 5.2-oz package), softened |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil |
18 very thin slices genoa salami (3 1/2 inches in diameter; 1/4 lb) |
18 grape tomatoes |
18 long fresh chives |
Directions:
1. Stir together cheese and basil until combined well. Put 1/2 teaspoon cheese in center of 1 salami round. Press 1 tomato, stemmed end down, into cheese (to stabilize it), then gather salami up around tomato. Turn wrapped tomato on its side and tie salami with a chive just below gathers (handle chive gently so it won't break), leaving top of tomato exposed. Make more blossoms in same manner, then trim chives.
2. Cooks' note: ·Tomato blossoms can be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, loosely covered with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.
