Bruschetta With Marinated Broccoli and Carrots Serves 2

Ingredients:

4 slices Ciabatta, or other Italian country bread

.25c virgin olive oil

1c broccoli florettes

1 medium carrot, julienne

2 thin slices pancetta

.25t chopped garlic

3T lemon juice

A pinch of hot pepper flakes

1T basil, julienne

Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for one minute, refresh in cold water. Fry the pancetta until crisp in a little olive oil, add the broccoli and a little garlic and sauté for one more minute, until the broccoli is cooked and has absorbed the flavors of the oil and garlic and pancetta.

Combine the broccoli, carrot, remaining garlic, hot peppers, some of the oil and lemon. Season with salt and pepper and let rest at room temperature.

Brush the bread with olive oil and grill over high heat. Top the bread with the broccoli-carrot mixture, garnish with the basil and serve.

Enjoy
