            TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________

This antipasto from Italy traditionally calls for fresh mozzarella, but just
about any firm cheese could be used instead.

Marinated Mozzarella (Bocconcini)

1 cup (250 ml) olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
12 whole black or white peppercorns
2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary broken into small pieces
1 lb (450 g) fresh mozzarella cut into 1-inch (2 cm) cubes

Combine all the ingredients except the cheese in a saucepan and heat
just until the garlic begins to bubble - do not boil. Cool to room temperature
and pour the mixture over the cheese cubes. Marinate at room temperature
for at least 4 hours, or refrigerated for up to 4 days. Serve at room
temperature.
Serves 4 to 6.
