steve, are you using mozzarella? She shows it in the pics, but left it out of the recipe.

 

[steve2-in-la]

Boccancini are little mozzarella balls. I get mine at Trader Joe's. In fact, I'm going there now!

 

[angak]

oops, for some reason I read that as broccolini. that tender broccoli stuff. : )

 

[Marg CDN]

aaah. Perfect. I have everything & am going to put these together tomorrow.

What theatre? do tell more...

 

[steve2-in-la]

The Hyperion Theatre at Disney's California Adventure.

2,000 seat theatre where we're doing "Aladdin, A Musical Spectacular", 4 times a day, 5 days a week.

It's a quite remarkable and technically sophisticated production. Closes on Monday for a 3 month technical reconfiguration.

 

[deb-in-mi]

WOW!

I make mini versions by using fancy hors d'ouevres sticks from the Dollar Store.

This recipe is easier than the one I used, where you cut the tomatoes in half (oh the work!)
