OLIVE AND ROASTED PEPPER CROSTINI



Olive and Roasted Pepper Crostini image

Based on a recipe from Jill Sklar's and Annabel Cohen's book, Eating for Acid Reflux. They say in its intro, "An appetizer you can make in a hurry, these crostini are delicious as appetizers, to serve with soup or salad or anytime you need a quick snack. They exclude reflux triggers like tomatoes and garlic, yet still retain the flavors that make these such a popular appetizer choice. For variety, add ingredients, change ingredients, and develop your own repertoire of crostini." I haven't tried this yet.

OLIVE-CHEESE CROSTINI



Olive-Cheese Crostini image

If you love olives, you will LOVE this spread! This makes about 38-40 of the most delicious crostini appetizers, and they will be the first to vanish at you get together! Make certain to hand-squeeze out the excess moisture in the olives before using in this recipe. Small pumpernickel party slices also work well in place of the French baguette! I strongly suggest to chill the mixture for about 5 hours or even overnight to blend the flavors before topping on the bread, just warm very slightly for a few seconds in the microwave to make spreading easier. If you want lots of olive topping, then double the recipe but do not double the garlic amount!

ROAST BEEF AND ARUGULA CROSTINI WITH OLIVE-RED PEPPER RELISH



Roast Beef and Arugula Crostini with Olive-Red Pepper Relish image

Categories     Beef     Leafy Green     Olive     Pepper     No-Cook     Quick & Easy     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons chopped drained roasted red peppers from jar
3 tablespoons slivered pitted black olives (such as Kalamata)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
5 ounces fresh goat cheese
16 1/4-inch-thick diagonal baguette slices, toasted
1 ounce baby arugula
16 very thin slices rare roast beef

Steps:

  • Mix red peppers, olives, thyme, and vinegar in small bowl for relish. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Reserve 2 tablespoons goat cheese for garnish. Spread remaining goat cheese on toasted baguette slices. Divide arugula among toasts. Fold roast beef slices to fit toasts; place atop arugula. Sprinkle beef slices lightly with salt and pepper. Top each with 1/3 teaspoon reserved goat cheese and small dollop of relish. Arrange crostini on platter and serve.

Tips:

  • Select high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the olive relish, and choose a good quality olive oil. Fresh herbs, such as basil or thyme, can also add a nice flavor to the relish.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Cook the tomatoes over medium heat until they are softened, but not mushy. Overcooked tomatoes will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Make the olive relish ahead of time: The olive relish can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. This makes it a great make-ahead dish for parties or gatherings.
  • Use a variety of breads for the crostini: You can use any type of bread you like for the crostini, but a baguette or ciabatta bread works particularly well. You can also use a variety of toppings, such as cheese, meats, or vegetables, to create different crostini flavors.
  • Serve the crostini immediately: Crostini are best served immediately after they are made. This will ensure that the bread is crispy and the toppings are fresh.

Conclusion:

Crostini with olive relish is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and impressive dish that your guests will love. The olive relish is a great way to add a pop of flavor to the crostini, and the combination of the crispy bread and the tangy relish is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious appetizer, give crostini with olive relish a try. You won't be disappointed!
