Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup good-quality tomato paste -- preferably organic
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil -- to 4 tablespoons
1/4 cup Greek capers -- rinsed, drained and chopped
To serve: -- 6 to 8 slices stale rustic bread (1-inch thick slices), grilled or toasted

In a small bowl, mix together the tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and the capers. If the mixture is too thick, add the remaining olive oil. Spread on the bread and serve as an hors d'oeuvre.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

Tomato Paste Spread with Onions (Bertes me Kremmydi): replace the capers with 1 small red onion, finely chopped, and proceed as directed above.

AuthorNote: This exceedingly simple recipe and the one that follows are from the tiny island of Kimolos [The Cyclades islands]. Many cooks still make their own tomato paste in Greece. In the islands, the hot, dry summers help to produce extremely sweet vine-ripened tomatoes. Homemade tomato paste made with such fruit tastes completely different from typical canned tomato paste on the supermarket shelf. The flavor is vibrant, full, and deep. Seek out great, preferably organic tomato paste.
