Yields: 3 Crostinis
Ingredients:
 |
| Green Olive and Garlic Carmelized Onion Tapenade Crostinis |
- 1 large sweet onion, halved and sliced thin
- 1 large red onion, halved and sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon butter
- kosher salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 7 oz jar STAR Manzanilla Spanish Olives, drained and minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup STAR Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil for Vegetables, divided
- Parmesan Reggiano
- 1 medium French baguette, sliced (about 30 slices)
Directions:
- In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter along with two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-low heat. Add in the sliced onions, a couple pinches of kosher salt and toss to coat in the butter and olive oil. Cover and cook for 10 minutes undisturbed.
- Remove the lid, stir and cook uncovered for 20-30 more minutes or until the onions are a deep golden color. Add in the minced garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set off to the side.
- In a medium bowl, add the minced olives, parsley and coarse black pepper. Squeeze in a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil. Stir to combine.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and arrange the sliced baguette onto a rimmed sheet pan. With the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil, brush the baguette slices. Pop the sheet pan into the oven and let the bread lightly toast for 8-10 minutes. Check on them often to avoid burning.
- Top the toasted crostini with a 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic caramelized onions and spread them with the back of the spoon. Top with a teaspoon of the olive tapenade and a shaving of Parmesan Reggiano.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
