1/2 cup butter, softened |
4 tablespoons olive oil (very good quality) |
red wine vinegar, dash |
1/2 ball fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped |
salt, to taste |
pepper, to taste |
freshly grated romano cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine peeled, cubed tomatoes, softened butter, and olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Add mozzarella cheese to the mixture.
2. Crush garlic clove and add to mixture.
3. Add dried oregano, parsley and basil.
