Quickie Goat Cheese And Pecan Bites - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb soft fresh goat cheese
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
1/2 cup toasted pecans, chopped
zest from 2 lemon
3 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley

Preparation

Break up and mix the goat cheese with the black pepper in a medium bowl. Divide into 24 pieces, about 2 teaspoons each and roll into balls.
Combine the pecans, lemon zest and parsley in a medium bowl until well blended. Roll the goat cheese balls in the pecan mixture. Arrange on a serving platter. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Take them out 15 minutes before serving so they soften a little and drizzle with a little olive oil, if desired.
