Yield Makes about 50 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 9

a 16-inch thin loaf Italian or French bread, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
two 28-ounce cans Italian whole tomatoes, seeded and drained
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, chopped and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon sugar
about 1/3 cup olivada or other bottled black olive paste(Olivada or other bottled black olive paste available at specialty foods shops and some supermarkets)
Garnish: about 50 small fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Arrange bread slices in one layer on 2 baking sheets and sprinkle half with Parmesan. Toast slices in upper and lower thirds of oven until crisp and golden, 8 to 12 minutes, and cool. Crostini may be made 2 weeks ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • In a colander or sieve drain tomatoes well, pressing gently on solids to squeeze out as much liquid as possible, and blot with paper towels. Chop tomatoes fine. In a bowl stir together tomatoes, oil, garlic paste, parsley, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put a heaping teaspoon tomato mixture on each Parmesan crostino and top with 1/4 teaspoon olive paste. Spread each plain crostino with 1/2 teaspoon olive paste. Spread each plain crostino with 1/2 teaspoon olive paste and top with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon tomato mixture.
  • Garnish crostini with parsley leaves.

The flavors in this dish are amazing! The tomatoes are sweet and juicy, the olives are salty and briny, and the cheese is creamy and rich.
