Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 large sea scallops (about one pound)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (I use whole grain, Maille brand)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, course ground
1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup chopped basil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1 teaspoon olive oil (I use chili flavored oil)
1 tablespoon capers
1/3-1/2 loaf French baguette, cut on the bias into 1/2 to one inch thick slices (you will need 8 slices)
olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine bruschetta ingredients. This can be done several hours in advance. Set aside.
  • Combine scallop ingredients and marinate for about 15-30 minutes.
  • Grill scallops until done -- do NOT overcook. We use a pan with holes made for the grill, but can also put on k-bobs. Alternatively can sear inside in a skillet.
  • Meanwhile, drizzle a SMALL amount of oil on bread slices and toast until golden and crispy. Can toast in toaster oven or on grill.
  • Place one scallop on each toast slice. Top with bruschetta. Garnish with basil sprig.

Categories     appetizer

Time P1DT1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup adzuki beans, soaked in water 24 hours
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 large white onion, diced
1 1/2 cups crushed canned tomatoes
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chipotle adobo sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
1 French baguette, cut into 1/2-inch-thick long diagonal slices (8 to 10 slices)
3/4 cup aged Cheddar, shredded
Sea salt, such as Maldon
Cilantro Pesto, for serving, recipe follows
2 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Pour the beans into a sauce pot and cover with 4 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then reduce the heat slightly and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven or grill to 350 degrees F.
  • Preheat another sauce pot over medium heat and add the oil, garlic and onions. Cook the onions and garlic, without browning, until translucent. Stir in the tomatoes, vinegar, chipotle sauce, honey, coriander and cumin and simmer over low heat, about 30 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Once the beans are nearly fully tender, drain and add to the BBQ sauce. Bake or grill uncovered over direct heat until fully cooked, stirring frequently to prevent burning, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Place the cheese between baguette slices and season the top slices with sea salt. Brush the outsides with Cilantro Pesto and grill, covered, 1 minute per side. Plate the cheesy toast and top with the warm baked beans. Drizzle with a line of Cilantro Pesto and finish with more sea salt. Serve immediately.
  • Puree the cilantro, parsley and olive oil in a food processor until fairly smooth. Season with sea salt, cover and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bread: A good bruschetta starts with a sturdy bread that can hold up to the toppings. Some popular options include ciabatta, baguette, and sourdough.
  • Grill or toast the bread: This will help to create a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the bruschetta will be. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't overload the bruschetta: A few simple toppings are all you need. Too many toppings will make the bruschetta difficult to eat and will overwhelm the flavors.
  • Drizzle with olive oil: A drizzle of olive oil will help to add flavor and moisture to the bruschetta.
  • Serve immediately: Bruschetta is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you're making it ahead of time, store the toppings separately and assemble the bruschetta just before serving.

Conclusion:

Bruschetta is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack that can be easily customized to your own preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is both flavorful and satisfying. So next time you're looking for something to serve at your next party or gathering, give bruschetta a try. You and your guests will be glad you did!
