Today I've decided to post one of my favorite crowd pleasin' recipes from my 2nd edition of Radiant Health, Inner Wealth. They're easy to make and mouth-wateringly delish. Literally. I just started salivating....
Hope you enjoy!
Artichoke, Kalamata, & Sun-Dried Tomato Mini-Pizzas with Garlic and Rosemary
Do I even need to give you the recipe after a title that long? Although these are quick and easy, they’re always a huge hit! Absolutely divine and seemingly gourmet, this recipe takes less than 20 minutes, start to finish. I’ve left the measurements fairly loose, as it’s sometimes nice to just make one of these (and sometimes nice to make twenty). Please don’t be bashful with your toppings—just pile on the good stuff!
High quality crusty sourdough bread, cut into ½-inch thick slices
Fresh garlic, minced or pressed (about 2 cloves per slice of bread)
Toppings:
Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped (about 4-5 olives per slice of bread)
Marinated artichoke hearts, drained* (about 2-3 artichoke hearts per slice of bread)
Marinated sun-dried tomatoes, julienne cut and drained* (1-2 tablespoons per slice of bread)
Finishing Touches:
Dried rosemary leaf, about ½ to 1 teaspoon per slice
Olive oil (regular or extra-virgin), about 2 teaspoons per slice of bread
Sea salt (a light sprinkle per slice of bread)
1. Preheat the oven to 375° F.
2. For each slice of bread, spread the garlic evenly over the top with a knife. Arrange the olives, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes on top of the garlic. Sprinkle evenly with the dried rosemary. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
3. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for about 10-20 minutes, or until the bread and toppings are lightly browned. Be careful not to overcook or the rosemary will become bitter.
4. Serve immediately.
Serves: any number of hungry peeps; SF/Purple (according to the guidelines in Radiant Health, Inner Wealth)
*I usually place the artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes in a strainer together to allow the excess marinade to fall away.
So, I know this recipe post is really old, but I just tried this for some friends the other day and it was delicious! Even all the non-vegans loved it! And one of them asked me to make it for another gathering we have coming up.
ReplyDeleteThe grocery store we have here did not have any sort of sun dried tomatoes (in jars or otherwise), so I used fresh tomatoes. It worked really great, and turned out so tasty!
This is definitely something I will be making again.
Yay!! Thanks so much for letting me know! : )
