Interview With Senator Steve Newman by The Morning Jam on VTRN

Ingredients

1 Puff pastry sheet

2-3 tbsp Basil pesto

8-10 Cherry tomatoes

½ cup Mozzarella ( you can use any cheese – ricotta and feta are my other favorites)

1-2 tsp Oregano

1-2 tsp Pepper

1-2 tsp Garlic powder

1-2 tsp Olive oil

1 Egg

Fresh Basil

Salt to taste

Preparation

Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature or until easy to handle.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Meanwhile, get your toppings ready. In a mixing bowl, add chopped cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic powder, olive oil and toss them well.

Now, cover a baking tray with parchment paper and unfold the puff pastry sheet onto it. Scale the edge of the pastry to form an inner rectangle. This will help you contain your toppings inside the pastry during baking.

On the puff pastry, spread pesto sauce, mozzarella and top with seasoned cherry tomatoes. (I added fresh basil leaves as well)

Twist the corners of the puff pastry and raise the four sides to form a sort of pocket. Brush the exposed puff pastry with egg wash. Give it a last sprinkle of salt and oregano.

Now, bake it in the oven at 400F for 15-20 minutes until golden.

BROCCOLI SALAD

For the salad

10-11 strips of bacon, cooked

2 heads broccoli (about 1 and 1/2 pounds or 5-6 cups)

1 cup dried cranberries

1/3 cup roasted and salted sunflower seeds

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1/3 cup chopped red onion, or more to taste

For the dressing

1 and 1/4 cups Dukes Mayo

zest from 1 lemon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

1/4 cup sugar

1 and 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon dry mustard

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Start by making the bacon. I highly recommend baking it in the oven! So mush easier, and no splatter. However you want to do it, cook 10-11 slices of bacon to your desired level of crispness, then set aside on paper towels to cool. Once cool, chop into bite size pieces.

While the bacon cooks, mix together the ingredients for the dressing. In a large bowl add 1 and 1/4 cups Miracle Whip OR Mayonnaise, the zest from 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper. (the cayenne adds flavor but not heat. Don't be scared of it! Just careful
