I settled on making some crostini with grilled vegetables since we are now in full summer mode. No heating up the kitchen here, as the cooking is all done outside.
I used Trader Joe’s ready to go agrodolce. This “must-have” TJ’s item is a sweet and sour vinegar mixture with grape must added. It is drizzled on the vegetables as they cook and a little afterwards to adjust the taste.
Combined with the olive oil used in cooking, the flavor it gives is one of a deeply complex vinaigrette with light tangy sweetness.
I paired the vegetables on the crostini with a schmear of goat cheese. Also, a simple pinch of prosciutto ham. And a small basil leaf for the finishing touch. Figure on four per serving. So this recipe makes enough for 4.
I did use only half the baguette. But you can easily double the recipe and make the whole thing if you need. Depends on the size of your crowd or cookout.
