Chef Deano's Heart Healthy Super bowl Favorite -
White Bean Crostini with Truffle Oil
 
Delicious Heart Healthy Recipe of Toast with Flavorful Drizzle of White Truffle Oil
 
Ingredients:
1 can (15.5oz) Great Northern beans or Butter beans.  Cook & rinse well.
1 tsp fresh minced garlic.  Blanch in olive oil.
1 tsp minced shallots
1/2 bunch minced scallions.  Reserve 1/2 for garnish.
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan Reggiano
Kosher Salt & Pepper
1-ounce white truffle oil
Dash of Tabasco
 
Procedure:
1.  Combine all ingredients in food processor and pulse to smooth paste consistency
2.  Take 1 baguette (I prefer Blue Dog as it's by far best locally) and cut crosswise
into 1/3 inch thick slices.  Brush with extra virgin olive oil and toast.
3.  Spread bean mixture on toasted baguette and drizzle with a little additional
truffle oil.  Top with remaining fine mince of scallion.
 
* For variation you can add mushroom slices to recipe above or substitute bean mix
with fresh Chevré from Capriole Farms!  This is a dish where your imagination can
over, substitute different ingredients and still keep it healthy!
