Roasted Red Peppers Crostini
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 20-30 minutes
Ingredients:
200g green olives, stones removed
200g roasted and peeled red peppers
20 – 30g anchovy fillet
40g drained capers
1 clove of garlic
1 teaspoon of mustard
4 tablespoons chopped basil
3-5 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
French bread
Some extra basil leaves
Method:
Mash up the olives, anchovy fillets, garlic, mustard and basil in a food processor or blender.
Add the olive oil and mash the mixture for another 10 seconds until it is a smooth puree.
Balance the flavour of the tapenade with some salt and pepper.
Cut the bread in thin, diagonal slices and roast them lightly.
If you roast them in the oven, you have to drizzle them with olive oil.
Smear the pepper tapenade over the slices of bread and finish it with a basil leaf.
