Warm Dipping Sauce for Bread**

Recipe By :Oregonian FoodDay, December 12, 2000

Serving Size : 10 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Vegetarian

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup finely chopped red onion

1/3 cup coarsely chopped black olives

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

4 ounces crumbled blue cheese

1 good-quality baguette -- cut into 1/4-inch slices

In skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute

gently until onions soften, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in olives and

vinegar; remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Note: The recipe may be prepared to this point several days ahead and

refrigerated before serving; warm before proceeding with recipe.

When ready to serve, crumble the blue cheese into the warm sauce. Stir

gently, making sure that most of the cheese remains in identifiable chunks

(that will soften as the sauce sits).

Pour the sauce into a shallow container and serve immediately with baguette

slices for dipping.

Serving option: Provide smaller plates next to the sauce so diners can

spoon a portion of the sauce onto an individual plate for dipping.

Makes about 10 servings (3 tablespoons each)

Notes: This is easy! easy! easy! for holiday entertaining. And the recipe

can easily be increased.

e **(Actual name of recipe when published was: Warm Dipping Sauce Of Olive

Oil, Red Onion, Blue Cheese & Balsamic Vinegar - it was too long for many

MC users and also didn't really describe the intended use, so: I changed it.)
