Con tus espárrago asado (ver otro blog o Instagram #smokinliciousasparagus) en mano, necesitarás estos ingredientes:

Lista de los ingredientes

• Baguette u otro pan estrecho (en una pizca, los chips de pita también funcionarán)
• Aceite para rociar sobre las rebanadas de pan
• 8 onzas de queso ricotta
• Espárrago ahumado
• 2 cucharadas de jugo de lima
• Rodajas de pimiento aproximadamente 2 onzas
• Aceitunas verdes aproximadamente 4 onzas
• Pimiento fresco molido

Mezclando los ingredientes- crostini con espárrago ahumado

Mezclando espárrago picado ahumado en ricotta

Antes de mezclar los ingredientes al untar, corte rodajas de la baguette en 1,27 centímetros y colóquela en una bandeja del horno. Rocíe con aceite: cualquier tipo funcionará, aunque soy parcial a los aceites de sabores. Solo tuesta las rebanadas de pan hasta que estén doradas. En un tazón mediano, agregue la ricotta y mezcle suavemente para descomponer el queso hasta obtener un estado cremoso. Corte el espárrago ahumado ​​en dados y pliegue suavemente en la ricotta con el jugo de lima. Agregue pimiento molido fresco al gusto. Ponga a un lado el tazón y corte el pimiento y la aceituna verde. Coloque en un tazón pequeño.
