Tired of serving the same types of appetizers? Let me teach you how you can make this really EASY and FLAVORFUL appetizer that will have your guests asking for MORE!
Italian Sausage and Bean Bruschetta
1 lb Ground Italian Sausage, or any ground meat or vegan meat of choice
(if using ground meat with no seasoning, add ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp Italian Seasoning, ¼ tsp pepper)
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
½ Purple Onion, finely diced
4 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 – 14 oz can Diced Tomatoes
¼ cup Liquid (Red Wine, Broth, or Water)
1 (14 oz) can White Beans, rinsed and drained
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Thinly sliced toasted baguette (see video how to infuse garlic flavor to baguette slices)
Garnish
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Shaved Parmesan Cheese
1. In a sauté pan, add ground meat, garlic, and any additional seasonings if necessary. Continue to sauté until meat is cooked.
2. Add Onion and Balsamic Vinegar. Start with 2 Tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar, cook down, and add more if preferred in 2 Tablespoon increments.
3. Add diced tomatoes and break tomato chunks into smaller pieces. Cook for about 10-15 minutes.
4. Add about ¼ cup of liquid of choice.
5. Take the drained White Beans and smash half of the beans with a fork and add all the beans to the sauté pan.
6. Add a few tablespoons of chopped parsley as well as more balsamic vinegar if more flavor of depth is preferred.
7. Now the Sausage and Beans are ready, it can be spooned onto each baguette slice topped with fresh parsley and shaved parmesan cheese.
Note: this can be made ahead of time and reheated.
Any leftovers would go great addition to eggs, pasta, or soup.
