The Original Foreplay Funghi

April 12, 2006 by Tarrant Figlio

Foreplay Funghi started life as an iVillage recipe finder recipe called Portobello Napoleons, then both Food Julia and myself fussed with it. In other words, this is not a retro recipe at all, unless of course, just under 5 years ago makes it old enough for retro..

Grilled Vegetable Napoleons

1/2 tsp or so of crushed garlic
herbs, (basil, thyme, etc)

1 red bell pepper
8 oz ricotta cheese
