Savory Sunday

Here is my latest installment of Savory Sunday for you all to try. This is a recipe I found in one of those little recipe books you buy at the grocery store found at the check out counter. I made this recipe and I was so surprised at how good it tasted. The red wine vinegar brings out so much flavor to a simple recipe. It's a great dinner for two people. Make a nice salad, bake some fresh bread (or by a frozen loaf in the freezer department of your grocer), some white wine and make a wonderful dessert. Voila! A wonderful meal for two! I have passed this recipe on to many others and they enjoy it as much as I do. I haven't heard one bad thing about it.

Here are some tips

new potatoes are those little round potatoes approximately the size of a golf ball.

use pearl onions for the recipe. If you cannot find these in your vegetable department substitute some chopped white onion about a half a cup or less if you don't like onion.

I use whatever olive oil I have available.

The one problem with the recipe was it forgot to say what to do with the bacon. You are to add it to the mixture at the very end. Then serve. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
