Provided by mahto

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
48 littleneck clams, shucked, chopped if large, shucking juices reserved and strained
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
12 thick slices country bread, each 2 to 3 inches long, grilled

Steps:

  • To a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, and let sizzle a minute, taking care not to burn it, then season with the crushed red pepper flakes and salt. Add the clam shucking juices to the skillet, bring to a boil, and add the parsley. Let boil to reduce the juices by about half and bring the sauce together. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the shucked clams, and simmer until they are just cooked, about 2 minutes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 pint red grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 whole baguette or crusty loaf
1 pint yellow grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
16 whole fresh basil leaves, plus more as needed, chiffonade
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick butter

Steps:

  • In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
  • Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
  • Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
  • To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

CLAMS CASINO CROSTINI



Clams Casino Crostini image

A fishmonger can shuck the clams for you; or, if you have a clam knife, you can do the job yourself.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Time 40m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 clams (about 7 1/2 pounds), preferably cherrystones, scrubbed and shucked, shells discarded
1/2 baguette, thinly sliced on the bias to yield 24 slices
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup minced shallots (2 large)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1 strip bacon, thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Place clams in 1 layer on a baking dish, and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and place rack in middle position. Place bread on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with salt. Bake until toasted, about 5 minutes. Remove, and let cool. Turn oven to broil.
  • Place butter in a small bowl, and mix until very smooth. Stir in shallots, garlic, oregano, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until incorporated. Spoon 1 teaspoon butter mixture on top of each clam, spreading to cover, and top with a few pieces of bacon.
  • Broil until clams are cooked and bacon is crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer 1 clam and some juice to each toast. Broil 1 minute more; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality clams: Fresh clams should have a briny smell and tightly closed shells. Avoid any clams that are open or have cracked shells.
  • Soak the clams in cold water before cooking: This will help to remove any grit or sand from the clams.
  • Cook the clams until they open: Clams are done cooking when they open their shells. Discard any clams that do not open after cooking.
  • Use a variety of toppings for your bruschetta: Some popular toppings include diced tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, and cheese. You can also get creative and add your own favorite toppings.
  • Serve the bruschetta immediately: Bruschetta is best served warm, so make sure to serve it as soon as it is made.
