- Yields 6 servings
Ingredients
- 6 Italian plum tomatoes, finely chopped (or best tomatoes in season)
- 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons scallions (green onions)
- 1 can chopped black olives (drained)
- 1 jar (6 oz.) artichoke hearts, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (at least !!)
- 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- French bread (for crostini)
Procedures
- Hand chop all vegetables then fold together gently but thoroughly.
- Add balsamic to taste.
- Let stand 20 minutes or refrigerate until serve.
- The longer you store this the juicier it becomes, so draining excess liquid will keep it from getting mushy if you're storing it for more than a day.
Crostini
- Heat oven to 325°F.
- Cut French bread into ½" slices (day-old bread works best because it's not so soft that it squishes when cut).
- Line cookie sheet with foil and spray/brush with olive oil or PAM.
- Lay bread slices flat and lightly spray/brush with olive oil or PAM.
- Bake 6 – 10 minutes or until crispy.
- Allow to cool then serve or store in tight container.
Notes
These volumes are forgiving. I never have measured ingredients for this recipe once! Do it to taste and what looks good.
