Sun-Dried Tomato Scones

Sun-dried Tomato Scones are
delicious served with a steamy bowl of
roasted tomato soup~



Sun-dried tomato scones are made easy by
using a buttermlk baking mix such as Bisquick.
Parmesan cheese, spices and sun-dried tomatoes are
added and the results are delicious.

Sun-dried Tomato Scones make a delicious
capicola and provolone sandwich also.


Coppa is a traditional Italian cold cut.
It is dry, cured, and sliced very thin.
It is similar to the well known cured ham, prosciutto.

Capicola is lightly seasoned with red and/or white wine,
garlic and a variety of herbs and spices.
It is often rubbed with hot paprika or cracked black pepper.



Giardiniera is the must have condiment for an Italian Beef Sandwich and
in Italian the word means "from the garden" but
How in the world do you pronounce it?



JAR-DIH-NAIR-AH.
After saying it about 3 times in a row,
it starts to sound right!
Many recipes differ,
but Giardiniera traditionally contains hot or mild peppers,
celery, carrots, pitted green olives plus
other vegetables mixed with a spice blend and
packed in olive oil.



Sun-Dried Tomato Scones are delicious served with soups, stews, or chili.
