Stumbled across your wonderful blog yesterday and KNEW this crostini was going to be so good, I’d better make a double batch! Taking it to a party tonight, but my husband and I are having trouble not eating it all with a spoon. I agree with Robin..schmear of goat cheese on the bread. Yesssss! Thanks for a great recipe and really entertaining blog.

I made this on Saturday. It was really good. It was so good that I made another batch tonight. It was dinner. It will be lunch tomorrow. A thin smear of fresh goat cheese topped with a big old dollop of this stuff – awesome, simple, it’s a perfect “I’m lazy and don’t feel like cooking” thing. In a fit of total foodie dorkiness, I did a side by side comparison of yours and David Lebovitz’s versions. Yours won, hands down.

Somehow I missed making this when you first published it. Where was my head?
I made this tapanade yesterday after reading about it on David Lebovitz site. It’s wonderful; the perfect combination of savory, briney and crumbly texture. I can see this used as a sandwich spread, with cream cheese or ricotta as an appetizer or even as a topping for fish. I served it along with some fresh grilled albacore for dinner last night and it was outstanding; better than tartar sauce (which it could be mixed with some mayo to make a better tartar sauce) Excellent recipe, so versatile. Thanks, Deb.

I made this for a yellow themed birthday party—the food had to match too!—and it was a huge succeed! Love, Love, Loved it!!!!

. . .and I’ve been craving it ever since!

I saw this on Lottie and Doof. I couldn’t resist the idea of an appetizer you make by simply opening cans, measuring, and hitting the ON switch.

I will be blogging about this bit of tastiness today at The Countess of Nassau County.

I made the artichoke spread but paired it with the rosemary flatbread instead and it was a great success. Thanks for the recipes!

Tasty! The leftover spread also worked well in a vegetable panini with roasted red pepper and thin slices of red onion and mushrooms precooked on a Foreman grill.
