To roast the red peppers and cherry tomatoes, toss the pepper halves and tomatoes with 1 ts olive oil and 1/8 ts salt. Place the veggies on a aluminum foil lined baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, or until soft and slightly charred. Remove from the oven and let cool. While the veggies are roasting, prepare your other ingredients and start assembling the salmon pinxtos by placing a hard boiled egg slice on top of a slice of baguette and topping the egg with a roll of lox. Use a wooden skewer to hold the ingredients in place. When the peppers have cooled slightly, cut the pieces so they will fit nicely on top of a baguette slice. Place a bit of tuna over the roasted pepper and top it off with an olive. These really need the skewer to make sure everything stays put! Once the tomatoes have cooled place a tomato on top of a slice of Manchego cheese on a baguette slice. Secure the tomatoes in place with a skewer. Serve the pinxtos immediately with glasses of South France wine! RECIPE FROM: https://www.curiouscuisiniere.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
