Delicious Italian Artichoke Crostini

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 2 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 (10 ounce) jar of whole artichokes packed in water, drained
2 Tbsps of minced celery, leaves removed, chopped and set aside
4 Tbsps of jarred green peperoncini, sliced 1/8 inch thick.
4 Tbsps of chopped fresh flat Italian parsley
1/2 ounce of Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated
1 Tbsp of pure Italian extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
8 (1/4 inch thick) slices of Italian or French baguette



Directions:

Preheat the oven to broil. Cute the artichokes into eights. Place them in a medium bowl with the celery, peperoncini, parsley, Parmigiano and olive oil. Toss together gently and season with salt and pepper. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until crisp and lightly browned on both sides (about 1 minute per side). Place the crostini on a serving plate. Top each with an equal amount of the artichoke mixture and scatter the chopped celery leaves on top.
