Crostini with sausage and sweet peppers topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp. Prosecco
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed, + 2 cloves, chopped
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 large raw sweet Italian sausages
- Olive oil
- Baguette, cut diagonally into 0.5 cm thick slices.
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 yellow bell peppers
- 1 onion, sliced into thin half rings
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
- Pour the Prosecco into a deep saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic, bay leaf, and sausages. Cook until the sausages are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the sausages from the saucepan (reserve the liquid) and let them rest for a few minutes. Bring the liquid back to a boil and simmer until it has evaporated and thickened slightly, turning into a sauce. Slice the sausages diagonally into thin slices.
- In a small bowl, combine chopped garlic with a few tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Brush each baguette slice with the garlic oil and bake until golden and crisp.
- Roast the peppers in the oven or grill them over a gas stovetop until they're almost completely blackened. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let cool. Peel and cut into strips.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the pepper, basil, oregano, and thyme and cook for 5 minutes.
- Place a slice of sausage on each slice of bread, spread with Prosecco sauce and top with peppers and onions.
