Ingredients
1 lb Fresh Mozzarella Perlini
4 oz Fresh Roasted shelled Pistachios
1 Basket Grape or Sweet 100 tomatoes
Fresh Basil
3 Scallions
Balsamic Vinegar
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Baguette
Kosher Salt
Cracked Black Pepper
Method
Drain mozzarella over a colander and place in
mixing bowl. Add pistachios, looking out for
shells. Cut tomatoes into quarters and chop
scallions crosswise and add to bowl. Chop a
small amount of basil into a “chiffonade” and
add that to mixture. Season mixture with a
little oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside
for a half hour. With the baguette, slice and
lay sliced on a cookie sheet. Brush both sides
with olive oil using a pastry brush. Alternately,
spray with 100% olive oil spray that’s now available
in grocery stores. Use the kind with a pump bottle
and they aerosol varieties use anti coagulants that
taste nasty. Toast bread under the broiler element
of your oven, turning once to brown both sides.
When cool, spoon salsa over crostini and enjoy.
