Cannellini Crostini

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This is my version of crostini served at my favorite Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurant in town. What I noticed about the restaurant's version of crostini was the absence of an overly aggressive garlic flavor. So, I assumed they used roasted garlic as I've indicated in the recipe. It is strongly recommended for best results as well that you use the finest quality French baguette in this recipe-either homemade or bought from an established artisan bakery. Canned beans are certainly acceptable to substitute, although you'll need to be careful as canned beans have added sodium. Adapted from spacelingcafe.com. Smooth and creamy!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    *note: a Word of Advice: Using Roasted Garlic Mellowed the Flavor. Using Unroasted Garlic Will in My Opinion Overpower the Flavor However. Do not Use Jarred Roasted Garlic.

    2
    Done

    in a Mixing Bowl, Combine the White Beans, Garlic, Sherry Vinegar, Lemon Juice and Olive Oil. Add a Little Bit of the Cooking Bean Liquid If Necessary to Help in Blending. Be Careful not to Add Too Much Liquid Though!

    3
    Done

    Mash the Bean Mixture With a Fork Until Very Smooth. If You Think It Is Necessary to Add Again a Very Small Amount of the Bean Cooking Liquid to Help in Mashing, Then Do So.

    4
    Done

    Cover the Bean Mixture and Allow to Sit at Least 1 Hour. I Recommend Tasting and Adjusting Seasonings After Standing Time.

    5
    Done

    Heat a Skillet Over Medium-High Heat. Brush Each Slice of Bread With Olive Oil on Both Sides, and Toast in the Skillet Until It Is Lightly Browned on Both Sides; Approximately 2 Minutes Per Side. (alternatively, You Can Broil the Baguette Slices, but You Need to Be [[really]] Careful not to Burn the Bread!).

    6
    Done

    Top Each Slice With Some of the Bean Mixture.

    7
    Done

    Arrange the Crostini Slices on a Pretty Platter. Add a Sprinkle of Paprika Over the Slices, Very Lightly Drizzle a Small Amount of Olive Oil on Top of the Toasted Slices, Garnish Artfully With the Fresh Parsley and a Smattering of Red Onion Rings.

    8
    Done

    Serve Immediately.

    9
    Done
