Crostini With Roasted Red Pepper And Feta - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
4 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
2 medium red bell peppers, roasted
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar (or tarragon vinegar)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 loaf French baguette
fresh Italian parsley (to garnish)

Preparation

To roast the garlic and red bell peppers, first arrange the garlic cloves on a piece of foil, drizzle with some olive oil and fold foil to seal. Next place the whole bell peppers on the baking sheet. Drizzle about 1/2 tablespoon olive oil onto the peppers, turning to coat. Roast for about 15-20 at 425\u00b0F Watch carefully!
Once the garlic and roasted bell peppers are done, set aside to cool. In a food processor, squeeze the garlic out of their skin. Next peel the bell peppers, remove seeds and stem, chop coarsely and add to processor. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, beans, vinegar, salt, pepper and half of feta. Pulse about 5 or 6 times or until combined.
Cut bread into 24 slices (1/4\") on the diagonal. Arrange the bread slices on the baking sheet, and brush with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Spread the bell pepper-bean mixture on one side of each slice of bread. Lastly, sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake at 350\u00b0F for 5-7 minutes.
Garnish with Italian parsley and serve.
