Yield Makes 8 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for brushing crostini
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 sprig fresh sage
Pinch of crushed red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
4 1/4-inch-thick diagonal slices pugliese or country-style bread, halved crosswise
1 (6.3-ounce) can oil-packed Italian tuna
8 Cerignola olives, pitted and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, rosemary, sage, red-pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Cook, stirring, until garlic is soft and golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add cannellini beans and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer bean mixture to the bowl of a food processor. Add red-wine vinegar and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush bread on both sides with olive oil. Place bread slices on grill pan; cook, turning once, until bread is toasted and grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Spread two tablespoons white bean puree on each slice of grilled bread. Top with tuna and sliced olives. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my crostini turned out terrible. The white bean puree was grainy and the tuna was dry. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I would add more seasoning to the white bean puree and toast the crostini for less time.

The crostini were too hard. I think they should be toasted for less time.

The white bean puree was too thick. I had to add more liquid to make it spreadable.

These crostini are a bit bland. I think they need more seasoning.

These crostini are a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your diet. The white bean puree is packed with fiber and the tuna is a good source of protein.

I'm not a big fan of tuna, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The white bean puree and the crostini helped to balance out the flavor of the tuna.
