2 to 3garlic bulbs,cloves separated and peeled, or 1 small peeled fresh garlic packet (find in the vegetable section of well-stocked grocers)
1/2pintcherry tomatoes
18-ounce jar sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
3tablespoonsnon-pariel capers,drained
Freshly ground pepper
111-ounce log goat cheese (optional)
1small bunch basil,leaves sliced into thin strips
1 to 2fresh gluten-free baguettes,such as Against The Grain Gourmet brand, warmed and sliced just before serving
Instructions
In a skillet over very low heat, add the olive oil and garlic cloves and cook until soft but still light in color (overcooking will ruin the flavor of the garlic and the oil), 30 to 40 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally so they don’t burn, 20 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, add 3 of the sundried tomatoes, and let cool to warm. Chop the remaining sun-dried tomatoes.
While the garlic-oil mixture is still warm, pour it into a rimmed platter, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and pepper to taste. Crumble the goat cheese into the platter, add the basil, and serve with the warm bread.
