Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
One 16-ounce can ceci beans (also called chickpeas and garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (use more or less to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices Rick's Basic Bruschetta
1 tablespoon roughly chopped, toasted pine nuts
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
8 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • 1. On a cutting board and using the blade and flat side of a large, sharp knife, mince and mash the garlic and salt to make a paste.
  • 2. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse the ceci beans with the garlic paste, tahini, onion, the 1/4 cup of oil, lemon juice, vinegar, red pepper, and honey. Scrape down the sides of the bowl several times and pulse until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. The texture of the paste should be that of spreadable peanut butter; if necessary, thin it with water and pulse again.
  • 3. Spread the bean paste on the bruschetta. Sprinkle with pine nuts, tarragon, and parsley. Drizzle with olive oil, and serve garnished with lemon wedges for squeezing over the bruschetta.

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     appetizer

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup vegetable oil
16 sage leaves
1/4 cup flour
2 cups cooked, drained white beans
1 shallot, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons chopped sage
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
16 1/2-inch-thick slices Italian bread
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
2 tablespoons white truffle oil

Steps:

  • Place the oil in a small skillet and heat over medium high heat. Lightly dust the 16 sage leaves with flour, shaking off any excess. Drop them in the hot oil and cook just until crispy and bright green, about 30 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the beans and shallot and process until very smooth. Remove the puree from the processor and pass it through a food mill or fine-mesh sieve. Place the puree in a small bowl and stir in the olive oil, chopped sage, lemon juice and salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Grill or broil the bread until lightly browned. While still hot, rub the slices with the garlic and sprinkle with a tablespoon of truffle oil. Spread each slice with about a tablespoon of the bean puree and sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of truffle oil over the tops. Top each with a fried sage leaf and serve immediately.

  • Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil: The olive oil is a key ingredient in bruschetta, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an oil that is fruity and flavorful.
  • Don't skimp on the garlic: Garlic is another essential ingredient in bruschetta. Be sure to use plenty of it to give the dish a nice garlicky flavor.
  • Toast the bread until it's crispy: The bread is the base of your bruschetta, so it's important to toast it until it's crispy. This will help it to hold up to the toppings.
