TRI-CRUSTINI

This delicious little app is adapted from several places and also a process I make for other items. When I was prepping for an Easter celebratory meal with family and neighbors, I thought these tasty apps would be perfect to help tide everyone over until the meal was ready. I kept the theme of three, as it has many spiritual meanings while also quite pleasing to the eye and my theme (Good for the Body, Mind, and Soul). These are also quite versatile recipes, so instead of on top of breads, you can use pasta or beans, or even a gorgeous grilled steak or lamb (I’ve used the balsamic and onion reduction endlessly with meats as well as on top of soups). These truly can be an explosion of flavors mixed into any delicate or light dish…the foundation is up to you! (Wink, wink)

  • 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar

  • 1 Teaspoon dried Garlic, minced

  • ¼ tsp Salt

  • ¼ tsp Pepper, black

PREPARATION

Sautéed Tomato Treats​

DIRECTIONS:

​

  1. Heat a medium size saucepan with EVOO on medium to low.

  2. Add all ingredients and gently simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring throughout the cooking process

  3. When done to your likeness, spread on top of your favorite toasted bread.

​

Minced Mushroom Delight

DIRECTIONS:

​

  1. Heat a medium size saucepan and add garlic and onions with just a splash of broth. You can add some fat like olive oil or butter, but to save on same calories, broth will work well here.

  2. Sauté for 2-3 minutes to release the fragrance and soften the garlic and onions

  3. Add the mushrooms, herbs, spiced and vinegar. Stir well.

  4. Gently pour in the rest of the broth and allow the mixture to simmer for 30 minutes. Stirring as needed.

  5. The mushrooms will release a lot of water, but if you need to lower the heat, this can help keep any extra liquid in and prevent the mushrooms from getting too dry, or add more broth/water. Check the taste, if it is too salty due to the broth, add more water.

  6. Once soft and thoroughly tender, spread on top of your favorite toasted bread.

​

Balsamic & Onion Reduction

DIRECTIONS:

​

  1. Heat a medium saucepan and add the butter. When mostly melted and foaming, add the onions and garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes.

  2. Add the vinegar and seasonings, and let simmer until it has reduced at least by half. This may take about 30-45 minutes. I tend to like a low simmer as the increase in time is well worth the improvement in taste! But if you’re short for time, you can cook this faster, just be mindful of it not burning.

  3. When ready, spread on top of your favorite toasted bread.
