 Ingredients
Crostini:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
6 slices Sun-Maid Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Bread
Tapenade:
2 medium leeks (about 1-1/4 pounds)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper
Directions: HEAT oven to 375 F. COMBINE 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon garlic in a microwave-safe dish. MICROWAVE on high for 20 seconds to infuse garlic flavor. PLACE raisin bread on baking sheet. Lightly brush top side of bread slices with garlic olive oil. BAKE 6 minutes; turn and bake additional 6 minutes or until toasted. REMOVE from baking sheet and cool on wire rack. CUT diagonally into quarters.
To make tapenade:
TRIM ends and remove tough outer layers from leeks. CUT lengthwise into quarters; rinse well. SLICE crosswise into 1/8-inch thick pieces, using the white and light green part to measure 2 cups.
HEAT 2 teaspoons olive oil in skillet over medium heat. SAUTE leeks and garlic until softened, about 7 minutes. REMOVE from heat and stir in olives and basil. SEASON with salt and pepper to taste. SERVE warm or room temperature. SPOON 1 rounded teaspoonful onto each crostini and arrange on a platter, or serve tapenade with a basket of raisin crostini for guests to serve themselves.
Makes about 1-1/4 cups tapenade.
