Gino D'Acampo

Bruschetta with cannellini puree, anchovies and black olive relish


A fabulously posh bruschetta.

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 1/4 small onion (chopped)
  • 60g tinned cannellini beans (drained)
  • 10g kalamata pitted olives (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp of chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 10g tinned anchovies in oil (drained and chopped)
  • ½ tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 baguette (cut into 2cm thick slices)

From the Store Cupboard:

  • Extra virgin olive oil  
  • 15ml chicken stock
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. In a medium size saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and fry the onion for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  2. Add in the beans with the stock and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes until the beans are soft. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. To make the black olive relish, place the olives, parsley and anchovies in a bowl. Pour over the remaining tablespoon of oil and the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and stir well.
  4. Place the beans with their liquid in a food processor with 1 tbsp of oil and the remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and blitz to a smooth puree.
  5. Place the bread on a hot griddle pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side until lightly charred on both sides.
  6. To serve, spread some of the cannellini puree on top of each warm bruschetta and spoon on a little olive relish. Drizzle with a touch more extra virgin on top and place on a large serving plate. Perfect with a good cold glass of Prosecco.
