Sex on bread.
meal
Ingredients:
Vigor Trigger: Click the pink for health benefits!
- 1 generous tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 3 large leeks
- ½ cup chicken broth, preferably homemade (see recipe for Basic and Not So Basic Chicken Broth) or organic boxed broth
- ½ -1 teaspoon raw honey (yes raw is important for the flavor!)
- 8 oz good quality burrata, at room temperature
- a small bunch of basil, cut into strips
- 1 French baguette
- salt and pepper
- Place an oven rack on second rung to the top and light your broiler.
- Cut bread into ½ inch slices and place on a cookie sheet.
- Place burrata on a plate and slice it into ¼ inch slices. (It will get messy. Not a problem!!) Sprinkle salt generously (about a ½ teaspoon) on the cheese.
- Cut basil into thin slices. (Place a few leaves on top of each other, roll them up into a little green “cigarette” and use a knife or scissors to cut them into thin slices.)
- Place a pan over medium high heat.
- Remove outer two layers of leeks. Rinse and dry them.
- Cut the white and light green part of leeks into ⅓ inch slices, and then cut those slices into quarters.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil pan and then add the leeks. Stir.
- Let the leeks saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Careful not to let them burn.
- Add the chicken broth, sprinkle with a dash of salt (it will depend on how salty your broth is) and give about 20-30 grinds of the pepper mill.
- Continue to cook until all of the liquid has evaporated and the leeks are beginning to take on a golden color. Remove from heat.
- Add the honey and mix to stir well. Begin with a ½ teaspoon and if you like it sweeter add a bit more.
- Toast bread by setting it under the broiler for about a minute, until golden. Turn slices over and toast the other side. Be careful not to let bread burn.
- Spread a thin layer of the leeks on a piece of bread, top with a slice of burrata. Drizzle a little olive oil- optional. Garnish with 4-5 slices of basil. Continue with the rest of the bread. Serve immediately.
To make ahead of time: prepare the leeks (steps 6-11) and bring the burrata to room temp before you begin to toast the bread and assemble the crostini.
