Snacks and Light Meals Recipes - Crostini Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4

  • 1-2 red peppers

  • 8 slices of ciabatta bread

  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled

  • small handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil

  • 75 g/3 oz black olives, pitted

  • 125 g/4 oz goats' cheese, crumbled

  • salt and pepper

Method:

  1. Roast the red peppers in a hot oven or under the grill until the skin is blistered and black all over.

  2. Place them in a polythene bag until they are cool, then remove the skin, core and seeds, and cut the flesh into strips.

  3. Toast the ciabatta bread under a preheated grill until golden brown. Rub the garlic over one side of the bread; the bread acts as a grater and the garlic is evenly spread over it.

  4. Sprinkle with parsley and salt, and drizzle with olive oil. Mix together the red peppers, olives and crumbled goats' cheese and season to taste with pepper.

  5. Spread the mixture evenly over the toasted bruschetta and place under a preheated low grill for 2 minutes to just melt the cheese, and serve immediately.
