-
1 (8-ounce) French bread baguette, sliced crosswise into 24 pieces
-
1 medium zucchini
-
1 medium red bell pepper, quartered
-
Cooking spray
-
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
5 garlic cloves, minced
-
3 canned anchovy fillets, rinsed and minced
-
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Recipe Method
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Arrange the baguette slices in an even layer on a baking sheet. Broil 1 minute or until toasted. Cool completely on baking sheet.
3. Prepare grill or grill pan.
4. Slice the zucchini lengthwise into 3 equal pieces. Arrange zucchini pieces and bell pepper quarters, skin side down, in a single layer on grill rack or grill pan coated with cooking spray, and grill 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and crisp-tender. Chop zucchini and bell pepper; cover and keep warm.
5. Combine juice, salt, garlic, and anchovies in a small food processor; process 30 seconds or until mixture forms a paste. Add oil; pulse 10 times or until combined. Spoon mixture into a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; stir in parsley.
6. Drizzle each baguette slice with about 1/2 teaspoon oil mixture; top each with about 1 tablespoon grilled vegetables. Serve immediately.
