Considering the fact that I'm a wet-behind-the-ears newbie with the #SundaySupper crowd, I'm a bit worried that I'll mess up on some of the important links and mentions that I need to include in my post.
That said, I'll plow ahead and do my best!
I would like however to give a giant shout-out to a wonderfully patient #SundaySupper mentor I've had helping me with all my seemingly silly questions. Thank you SO MUCH to Heather Schmitt-Gonzalez of Girliechef. Your patience and kindness were/are an important ingredient to this, my first #SundaySupper post Heather. You ARE my elf in the background... quietly whispering in my ear. LOL
This particular #SundaySupper event (hosted by Tammi of Mama's Meals) was "celebrity chef" week. Everyone got the opportunity to make a dish from there own particular favorite chef personality. The dish I chose was one I adapted from Giada De Laurentiis' cookbook "Giada's Family Dinners". It's a wonderful zippy appetizer that would be a welcome addition to any holiday gathering!!!
This recipe is quick and easy to whip together and what makes it perfect for a holiday party (other than the zippy taste and crunch) is that you can make the aioli a few days in advance and store it in the fridge until you're ready to serve. Perfect for the harried hostess!
Here is my adaptation of Giada's recipe. I hope you'll try it...
GARLIC TOASTS WITH RED PEPPER AIOLI
Red Pepper Aioli:
4-5 small cloves garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 - 12 ounce jar of roasted red peppers, dried with paper towels
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Toasts:
1 baguette (store bought or homemade) sliced diagonally
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
1 large clove of garlic, peeled
2-3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley for garnish
-To make the aioli place the garlic cloves in a microwave safe dish with the olive oil and microwave on low power until the garlic is soft and pliable (watch it carefully as this will not take long).
-In a food processor, add the cooked garlic, dried peppers, mayonnaise, smoked paprika and the sugar.
-Pulse just until the mixture comes together and is creamy, but not overly processed.
-Place in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve with the garlic toasts.
-To make the toasts, brush each slice with a little olive oil.
-Sprinkle each slice with a little salt and pepper.
-Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven until golden brown (approximately 5-7 minutes)
-Remove from the oven and as soon as they're cool enough to handle, rub a cut garlic clove over each slice of toast. Mmmmm.
-To serve, spread the red pepper aioli onto the garlic toasts and garnish with some fresh chopped parsley.
Well, there you have it, my first recipe submission for #SundaySupper and it couldn't have come at a better time than the for all your holiday entertaining!
