2 Tbs Capers (drained)
1/2 C Fresh Parsley (chopped, divided)

1/4 tsp Sea Salt + a pinch for finishing
1/8 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
1/4 C Shredded Parmesan Cheese (optional)
1 Baguette

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, add the artichokes to the bowl and pulse until finely chopped, not pureed. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the garlic, olives, capers and 1/3 C parsley to the food processor bowl. Pulse until finely chopped, about the same size as the artichokes. Pour into the large mixing bowl with the artichokes.
  • In a small bowl, whip the lemon juice and olive oil into an emulsion. Pour over the artichoke mixture. Add the sea salt, adjust to taste. If using pepper flakes, add them now. Mix well.

Spread artichoke mixture on top of each piece and garnish with optional parmesan cheese, the remaining parsley and a light pinch of sea salt.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your crostini will taste. Look for artichokes that are firm and have tightly closed leaves. Use canned or frozen beans if fresh beans are unavailable.
  • Cook the artichokes properly: Artichokes can be boiled, steamed, or roasted. Boiling is the easiest method, but steaming or roasting will give them a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality bread: The bread you use for your crostini is important. Look for a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up to the toppings, but not too dense. A baguette or ciabatta bread works well.
  • Toast the bread properly: Toasting the bread will help it to crisp up and make it less likely to get soggy from the toppings. You can toast the bread in a toaster oven, on a grill, or in a skillet.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make crostini. Feel free to experiment with different toppings and combinations of ingredients. You can also use different types of bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat.

Conclusion:

Crostini are a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like your crostini simple or loaded with toppings, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crostini a try. You won't be disappointed!
