ARTICHOKE AND OLIVE CROSTINI



Artichoke and Olive Crostini image

Categories     Olive     Appetizer     Broil     Cocktail Party     Quick & Easy     Artichoke     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings or 12 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices from a long Italian loaf (3 inches wide)
3 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 (6 1/2-oz) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed well, and patted dry
2 tablespoons heavy cream
6 tablespoons chopped pitted green olives (1/2 cup)
3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Arrange bread slices in 1 layer on a baking sheet and brush tops with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil (total). Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until golden on top, about 30 seconds. Turn toasts over and broil until golden, about 30 seconds more. Transfer toasts to a rack to cool.
  • Pulse artichokes with cream in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir together olives, onion, and 1/2 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Spread toasts evenly with artichoke cream and top with olive mixture. Drizzle with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Use artichokes that are firm and have tightly closed leaves. Olives should be plump and briny. Fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano, will add a bright flavor to the crostini.
  • Marinate the artichokes: Marinating the artichokes in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs will help to tenderize them and infuse them with flavor.
  • Roast the artichokes until they are tender: The artichokes should be roasted until they are tender when pierced with a fork. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Use a good quality bread: The bread for the crostini should be sturdy enough to hold the toppings without getting soggy. A baguette or ciabatta roll works well.
  • Toast the bread until it is golden brown: The bread should be toasted until it is golden brown and crispy. This will help to prevent it from getting soggy.
  • Assemble the crostini just before serving: The crostini are best when assembled just before serving. This will prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Artichoke and olive crostini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be assembled in minutes. The combination of artichokes, olives, and cheese is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone.
