Parsley Aioli Crostini Recipes

PARSLEY AIOLI

Steps:

• In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, and garlic. With the machine running, slowly pour the olive oil in a slow, steady stream through the feed tube. The mixture will emulsify into a mayonnaise. Add the herbs, and process to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the aioli to a small bowl, cover, and keep refrigerated.

PARSLEY-AIOLI CROSTINI

Steps:

• Slice baguette crosswise 1/2 inch thick, and toast on a rimmed baking sheet in a 375 degree oven. Meanwhile, place egg yolks, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor.

CROSTINI WITH MUSHROOMS AND AIOLI

Steps:

• Heat the 1 tablespoons olive oil in a pan that has a cover.
• When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, salt and sherry. Cover, and lower heat.
• Cook until liquid is released from the mushrooms, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• To make crostini slice baquette into 1/4" slices, brush slices with olive oil and bake in 375 deg. oven for 8 - 10 minutes.
• Caesar Mayo/Dressing:.
• Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until minced. Add the anchovy paste, mustard, lemon juice, and mayonnaise and process again to make a smooth dressing. (Refrigerate the Caesar dressing if not using it immediately.).
• Spread with alioli and top with mushrooms.
• Broil for about 30 seconds or until alioli starts to bubble. (Note: I used the caesar dressing and skipped the broiling step (it was really good but I still want to try the alioli.).
