Best Crostini Recipe Ever + Breaking Bread in L’Aquila

Maria Filice‘s Breaking Bread in L’Aquila is a product of love — love for her late husband Paul Piccone, of his native city L’Aquila in Abruzzo (yes, the same one that was devastated by an earthquake last year), of her own Calabrian heritage (Marie’s parents were born in Cosenza), and of delicious, simply prepared Italian food.

Marie graciously shares this amore with us, and indeed, is donating net proceeds of the book to the continuing relief efforts in Abruzzo and is also appearing in Santo Stefano di Sessanio, Abruzzo this Saturday, May 15, if you’re in the neighborhood!

The layout of this hardcover book is gorgeous with the recipes on the left side and full-color photos on the right — for each and every recipe. And the organization is unique as well: recipes are divided into menus that include antipasti (appetizers), primi piatti (usually pasta), secondi piatti (meat), contorni (vegetables), and dolci (desserts) for each day of the week; if you have a special dinner coming up, you can just open up Maria’s book and have a menu all set. Perfetto!

Many of Maria’s 50 or so recipes are classics like aglio olio peperoncino and bruschetta, but there are also some that were new to both Paolo and me. On my first run through, I made a note of at least five different recipes to try immediately with things we already had in the house.

In case you don’t realize, that’s pretty darn impressive for a southern Italian cookbook in a southern Italian house.

Speaking of items we had on hand, Maria also includes the “Pantry Page” with a checklist of things you should always keep handy. That stocked pantry is one of the most important parts of true Italian cooking, i.e., deciding what’s for dinner based on what you have on hand, and even better, having it on the table within about an hour. *That* is an Italian art form, and Maria has captured its essence wonderfully.

Breaking Bread in L’Aquila would be an excellent addition to any cookbook collection as it is not only full of great recipes, it’s simply a gorgeous book. Even if you don’t cook, you’ll enjoy the photos! And if you need a gift, particularly for someone with an interest in Italian and/or southern Italian cuisine, this is perfect.

I give this cookbook five extremely full espresso cups out of five; I couldn’t recommend it more.

**THIS CONTEST IS OVER**

Maria is offering up a copy of Breaking Bread in L’Aquila to one lucky Bleeding Espresso reader. Just comment on this post by May 20, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. (CET) to enter.

Now, without further ado, Maria’s recipe for Crostini with my slight adaptations; I am not exaggerating when I say I’ve made these at least once a week since I received Maria’s book (on Paolo’s specific request). We’ve had them as afternoon snacks and as dinner. They are so, so, so good — especially with a nice glass of red wine.

Crostini from Breaking Bread in L’Aquila by Maria Filice
(as adapted by me)
(serves 2)

  • 6 slices of Italian bread, about 1/4 inch thick
  • 2 small to medium-sized balls of fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 6 anchovy fillets
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • Handful of capers
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Oregano and salt to taste

1. Preheat oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).

2. In a small bowl, mix together tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, and salt. Let stand while you arrange the rest.

3. Arrange slices of bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

4. Place a slice or two of mozzarella on the bread so that you cover most of it.

5. Put an anchovy fillet on each slice of bread (more if you like anchovies like we do!).

6. Add some capers to each slice (I put three or four on each slice — we like capers too).

7. Cover the slices with the tomato mixture. I’ve found a fork actually works better than a spoon for this; you don’t want a whole lot of liquid making it onto the crostini as it’ll make the bread soggy.

8. Sprinkle with more oregano.

9. Bake in the oven for about 7 or 8 minutes, or until cheese melts.

10. Serve immediately, preferably with a glass of red wine.

Buon appetito!

    That is wonderful how you copied her dish and posed it in front of her photo! You are cool, Michele.

    I wanted to give folks an idea of just how gorgeous the book is too, but taking interesting photos of a book can be…challenging. Don’t you love our classy wine glass there in the middle? Normally we drink from Nutella glasses, so that was actually a step up πŸ˜‰

    This seems like a no-brainer to me. All I have to do is comment on this post and I have a chance of winning “Breaking Bread in L’Aquila”. I can do that!

    I’m not a true cook. I can follow a recipe and produce nice food but improvisation in the kitchen is not my forte.

    One of the most praised dishes I ever made was a ragu based on a recipe by Marcella Hazan.

    After trying to recreate the flavours of dishes I’ve had in Italy I’ve come to realise that one of the most important ingredients is time. Of course it can be hard to get the best flavoured tomatoes, the most intense garlic and the zingiest oil but unless you set aside time for the dish to peak you are on a loser.

    That ragu I mentioned took more than six hours from start to finish, a lot of it simmering on a hob, but worth every minute.

    From reading your blog it’s clear that you love food and if you give this book 5 out of 5 then it must be special.

    I think I’ll just buy it and if I’m lucky enough to win, someone will get a super gift.

    What a great idea, Felix! Thanks for sharing your cooking adventures, and best of luck!

    “having it on the table within about an hour.” You got me on that one! The crostini looks lovely! I can drop the anchovies to make it vegetarian (I’m struggling to try to be “vegetarian” for a few weeks and see if it takes!). My mouth is watering just looking at it … at 5:59 in the morning. I bet it could be breakfast!

    I could eat this for breakfast, definitely πŸ™‚

    I think the menu idea in the book is brilliant, no brainer just open the book and wahla everything thought for you.
    I’m always refiling through my cook books for different combination ‘s.
    The crostini recipe was most excellent ,I just didn’t use the anchovy { allergy to fish}substituted crispy ponchetta instead.

    Yum! This is a very versatile recipe…so many options!

  11. Oh my! Come’ fantistico!! This reminds me of those made by my southern Italian mother in law Concetta! The only thing better would be to have them made on her home baked bread! She would always make these for our sons minus the anchovies (Valentino loves anchovies but the boys, not so much)! Yesterday I wrote about Concetta’s skills in the garden, bringing the food then to the table. Mother’s Day my own mother and I reminisced about precious Concetta – my mother adored her too! I suspect this book will be one of those ‘have to haves’ in my cookbook collection!

    Perfetto!!

    Sono d’accordo!

  20. A color photo with every single recipe? That’s amazing! It’s just too expensive for most cookbooks to have that.

    And why have I never thought of making this with a slice of fresh mozzarella before?

    Usually in Italian cooking cheese with fish is a big no-no, but it works *so* well here! And you’re right — normally cookbooks can’t afford to have so many color photos. It’s a shame, b/c they’d probably sell a lot more cookbooks that way and might actually make up the cost. Maybe?

The ingredients in Italy are all so fresh and delicious on their own it’s no surprise that just a few simple components can make such an amazing dish. Oh what I would do to be back in Italy…I’m sure this cookbook could take me back there!

    Indeed, Jessica…good luck!

We stopped at a sandwich wagon on the road on the way out and had the hugest (is that a real word) sausage, onion, pepper sandwich with Italian bread. Man, was that delicious!
