Ingredients
3 thick slices Italian bread, crusts removed
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons warm water
2 tablespoons capers
2 cloves garlic
1 bunch Italian flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
6 thinly sliced pieces Italian bread, brushed with extra-virgin olive oil and toasted
Directions
- Tear the 3 thick slices of Italian bread into small 1-inch chunks and place in a medium mixing bowl. Add the red wine vinegar and toss to coat the bread and allow to soak for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, add the tomato paste and mix in 2 tablespoons of warm water to dilute. Set aside.
- Into the bowl of a food processor, add the capers, garlic, parsley and olive oil until you get a coarse chop. Add the soaked bread and tomato paste and mix until all the garlic is finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spread the mixture onto the toasted crostini slices and serve.
