Tuna & olive crostini

12 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12.00 slice french baguette -; (1 slices)
1 drizzle of olive oil
1.00 tuna steak -; (8 oz)
1 salt; to taste
1 freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
½ cup kalamata olives - (abt 20); pitted
½ anchovy fillet
½ teaspoon chopped garlic
2.00 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
1 chopped chives; for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, toss the bread slices with olive oil, coating each side completely. Season the bread with salt and pepper. Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake until crispy and slightly golden-brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the croutons from the oven and place on a large plate. Season the tuna steak with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place the tuna on a hot grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.

Combine all of the remaining ingredients in a food processor and puree for 15 seconds or until the mixture is smooth. Slice the tuna into 12 equal slices and place one slice on top of each crouton. Dab a spoonful of the tapenade on top of each tuna slice. Garnish with chopped chives. This recipe yields 1 dozen crostinis.
