Queso de Cabra
Ingredients (Serves 16, Prep time 35 minutes)
¼ cup Fresh Lime Juice
1 oz Garlic
1 oz Salt
1 bundle Cilantro
3 pounds Crushed Tomato
¼ pound Habanero Pepper
4 pounds Light Brown Sugar
1 lb Goat Cheese
1 bunch Romaine Lettuce

Instructions
Place the fresh lime, garlic, salt, cilantro, crushed tomatoes, and habanero pepper in a blender that has a capacity for at least 8 cups. Blend the items for about 1 minute. Pour the contents into a medium-sized pot. In med-low heat, start pouring the brown sugar. Make sure you stir the mixture often in order to prevent it from sticking to the pot. Cook for 20 minutes and let the sauce cool off. Cut the French bread into thin slices.
Serving
Decorate a serving tray with romaine lettuce. Place 5 scoops of the goat cheese in the middle of a serving tray and pour enough of the sauce on top of the goat cheese. The bread slices should be arranged in layers around the goat cheese and on top of the romaine lettuce.
