Buckwheat Crispbread Crostini – For Mark Ruffalo

August 14, 2017 By Jittery Cook 4 Comments

If I told you that I had lunch with Mark Ruffalo, would you believe me? Well, I did, kinda. I was actually finished eating, which is a blessing, because otherwise he never could have distracted me from savouring the

MUSHROOM Artichoke, truffle, parmesan or the

BURRATA Tomato, pesto, balsamic or the

PROSCIUTTO Ricotta, fig, olive, walnut

crostini I was literally fainting over at Fig and Olive in West Hollywood.

He arrived, sat down at a table close to ours and proceeded to ignore me, save a glance or two — or at least, I thought I caught him glancing.      

I can’t promise you a lunch date with Mark Ruffalo, but I can turn you onto this new and improved superlight and satisfying buckwheat crispbread and taste of summer crostini.

I say bruschetta, you say crostini.

      Thanks Liz!
      Someone gifted me these balsamic vinegar pearls. They look like caviar. It seems like the perfect time of year for a recipe that you can just slap together, savour and carry on enjoying the warm weather.
