Roasted Red Pepper And Canellinini Bean Bruschetta Recipe 415

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F. Place the bread slices on an ungreased cookie sheet. Drizzle about 1 teaspoon olive oil (of the 1/4 cup olive oil) on each bread slice. Bake about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Turn bread over; bake about 4 minutes longer or until golden brown.
• Cut each garlic clove in half; rub cut sides over tops and sides of toasted bread slices. Discard garlic.
• Drain the red peppers in a strainer in the sink. Cut the peppers into 1/2-inch strips. In a medium bowl, mix the peppers, parsley, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, the salt and pepper. Spoon onto toast.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Slice baguette into 1/4 inch slices and brush slightly with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and quickly toast in the oven for about 10 minutes. Brush red peppers with olive oil and roast in a heated oven until outer skin chars and can be easily removed. Remove the charred outer skin once peppers have cooled enough to handle. Dice into 1/4 inch pieces. While peppers are roasting, you can also be roasting the garlic! In a piece of aluminum foil, place the garlic cloves in olive oil and fold up to create a pouch. Heat in oven for 10-15 minutes or until garlic has become soft and tender. In a mixing bowl, combine beans, red peppers, garlic, balsamic vinegar, rosemary, and thyme. Mix well. Taste and season with salt. Now, you can either top the baguette with the mixture as is OR I like to blend half of the mixture in a blender until nice and creamy. I then add the creamed beans and peppers back with the other beans, so I have some whole beans remaining in the resulting mixture. Once the baguette have been topped with the bruschetta, toast in an 350° F oven for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the bread, you want them to be toasty, but not burnt! Sprinkle with fresh parsley, serve warm and enjoy!
