Categories: Breads, Seafood, Cheese, Vegetables
     Yield: 27 Pintxos

     2    French baguettes; 2"
          - diameter, sliced 1" thick
    27 sm Wooden skewers or
          - toothpicks

MMMMM-------------------SMOKED SALMON PINXTOS------------------------
     4 oz Pkg Lox-style smoked salmon
     3 lg Hard boiled eggs; sliced

MMMMM-----------------ROASTED RED PEPPER PINXTOS----------------------
     8 oz Tuna; packed in water
     2    Red peppers; in 1/3rds,
          - seeded
     9    Spanish olives

MMMMM-----------------MANCHEGO & ROASTED TOMATO----------------------
     3 oz Manchego cheese; sliced
     9    Cherry tomatoes
     1 ts Olive oil
   1/8 ts Salt

 Set your oven @ 400 F.

 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!
