CROSTINI

Method

CROSTINI

  1. 1

    Toast crostini

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange crostini slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush with 1 tablespoon of olive oil (from the 2 tablespoons total). Bake until golden and crisp, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare olive tapenade base

    If olives are not pittted, pit Kalamata olives. In a processor or bowl, combine olives, capers, and minced garlic. Pulse or chop until roughly broken down.

  3. 3

    Add citrus and oil

    Add lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the olive mixture; mix until well combined and lightly chunky.

  4. 4

    Finish tapenade

    Stir in chopped parsley, lemon zest, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble and serve

    Spread a small amount of tapenade on each crostini. If desired, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
