Olive Rosemary Crostini This is a delicious way to spend a half hour while waiting for dinner. Munch on some delicious crostini - not too filling but with a wonderful variety of flavors that will prime your tastebuds for dinner. I love it with chilled pinot grigio.
Ingredients:
2 cloves peeled garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin
olive oil
1 small loaf crusty bread, sliced
1/4 pound Sicilian oil-cured black
olives, pitted and chopped
1/4 pound green
olives, pitted and chopped
3 tablespoons capers, drained
1/2 teaspoon crushed
red chile peppers
2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves
Preparation:
Heat the garlic cloves in olive oil over a low heat in a medium skillet.
Char the bread slices under a hot broiler so that they're brown on both sides. Use a pastry brush to dab the toasted bread with olive oil.
Take the unused oil and combine it in a small bowl with the olives.
Place the garlic cloves on a cutting board and pile them with the capers, pepper flakes, and rosemary leaves. Chop the garlic and herb mixture and combine it with the olives in a small bowl.
Assemble the crostini by spreading it with olive tapenade on the toasts.
