The Best Blood Orange Crostini
This simple tapas recipe is the perfect dish for entertaining this summer. This is a nice twist on pan con Tomate, one of my favorite (and cheapest) tapas from those little Barcelona cafes. I remember loving this dish for its simplicity and flavor. It's a staple dish in Catalan cuisine, and is usually served in bars alongside a drink. The traditional method that makes this dish so good is seasoning the bread with raw garlic, tomato, olive oil and salt. In this recipe, we've used a citrus element to create a dish that is bright, simple, and delicious.
Serve this Sundried Tomato Crostini with a glass of Sangria for a delicious appetizer.
