Ingredients

  • 1 organic whole grain multi seeds baguette

Pistachio Paste

  • 1/2 cup raw pistachios shelled
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Roasted Tomato

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • fresh rosemary
  • salt and pepper to taste

Yucca

  • 1/2 yucca root about 3 cups
  • 2 cups water
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk

Instructions

Roasted Tomato

  • Pre-heat oven to 400F degrees. Add the tomatoes to a small baking dish. Season with oil, rosemary, salt and pepper and roast for about 20 minutes.

Yucca

  • Remove the thick skin from the yucca root and cut into slices, than cut each slice into quarters. Bring to a boil with a pinch of salt. The water level does not need to cover the yucca completely. Boil for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender. Remove the soft yucca from the stove and drain the remaining liquid. Place the yucca chunks in a small bowl and mash. I used a table folk to mesh the yucca. Add the butter and coconut milk and continue to mash until you reach a smooth consistency.

Pistachio Paste

  • Add the pistachios to a food processor and blend until it reaches a grainy consistency. Add the garlic, oil, salt and pepper and process for another minute until a paste like mixture.

Crostini

  • Thinly slice the baguette. Add a layer of yucca, a layer of pistachio paste an top with1-2 roasted tomatoes. Serve cold.
  • Refrigerate remaining ingredients to be re-used within 4-5 days.
