MEDITERRANEAN CROSTINI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the bread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush each piece of bread with olive oil. Lightly sprinkle with salt. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are light golden brown. Let cool.
• Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus over each crostini. Use the back of the spoon to make a divot in the hummus. Pour about ½ teaspoon olive oil into each divot. Top with 1 teaspoon Greek olives. Sprinkle paprika around the edges of the hummus.
• Enjoy!

MEDITERRANAN-STYLE HOMEMADE SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Place quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped shallots, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, chopped kalamata olives (if using), and chopped jalapeno (if using) in a mixing bowl.
• Season with kosher shalt, pepper, and sumac (start with a heaping 1/2 tsp sumac, add more late if needed). Toss gently.
• Add lemon juice and a generous drizzle of quality extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest EVOO). Toss to combine. Set aside for a few minutes to let the flavors marry.
• Serve with pita chips or chips of your choice. Enjoy!

TOMATO BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the onions, tomatoes, garlic and basil, taking care not to mash or break up the tomatoes too much. Add the balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix again. Cover and chill for at least an hour. This will allow the flavours to soak and blend together.
• Slice the baguette loaf diagonally into 12 thick slices and lightly toast them until they are light brown on both sides. Serve the mixture on the warm slices of bread. If you prefer the mixture at room temperature, remove from the fridge half an hour before serving.

MIXED TOMATO SALSA CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat a broiler, oven or grill to medium-high heat.
• Toast the bread until lightly golden brown on both sides-the bread should be crisp but still tender on the inside, not brittle. Remove and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt.
• Combine the tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, honey and oregano in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss in the queso fresco. Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving. Top the bread with the relish and serve.

CRAB SALSA CROSTINI

Steps:

• Mix together the crab meat, tomatoes and red onion. Keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. On the day, mix through the lime zest, juice and chopped coriander, then pile onto the crostini to serve.
• For the crostini bases, cut each of the 4 baguettes into 20 slices, ½cm thick, discarding ends. Drizzle with olive oil and place under the grill. Cook for 2-3 mins until lightly golden, then turn over and cook for another 1-2 mins until golden and crisp all over. Do this in batches and store in a large, airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
