I love to hear what's on your mind and cooking in your kitchen.<br /><br />I love this anitpasti and first fell in love with a similar version at Mario Batali's restaurant PO in New York. It is easy and so delicious!<br /><br />To crush up the cooked white beans, I simply mash them with a fork or wooden spoon, adding the olive oil and peperoncini until I get the desired taste + texture.Alisa Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11364259231552593534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818270950243300334.post-75526305699774950122009-06-23T13:25:21.591-04:002009-06-23T13:25:21.591-04:00>>>...mashed up with peperoncini and oliv...>>>...mashed up with peperoncini and olive oil for bruschetta toppings<<<<<br /><br />alisa, i love white beans and this sounds heavenly for summer. do you use a food processor or your knife? going on the menu for the next outdoor party! thanks for your inspiration. cheers! sharonsharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818270950243300334.post-12861947606020450682009-06-18T13:47:16.437-04:002009-06-18T13:47:16.437-04:00HI Kathy,

The Tuscan grill is best used with hardwood {I recommend a combination of oak for slow burning, hickory for flavor}. You can also use an all natural carbon charcoal, like Cowboy Charcoal for faster cooking. You may wan to put a log or two on that or some soaked wood chips for added flavor. <br /><br />Right now we are offering 20% off our grill through father's day, so you might tempt your boyfriend to buy one for himself {he might just get away with the title of GRILL DADDY!}<br /><br />There are some wonderful recipes using the Tuscan Grill on the blog. <br />here are a few you both might enjoy:<br /><br />http://bellacucinablog.blogspot.com/2009/06/shrimp-citrus-spiedini-on-tuscan-grill.html<br /><br />http://bellacucinablog.blogspot.com/2009/06/tuscan-lemon-rosemary-chicken-under.html<br /><br />http://bellacucinablog.blogspot.com/2009/06/not-your-basic-burger.html<br /><br />Let me know if you have any other questions!<br />buon appetito!<br />AlisaAlisa Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11364259231552593534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818270950243300334.post-49746483643763018582009-06-18T13:38:17.323-04:002009-06-18T13:38:17.323-04:00Alisa--I love your tuscan grill featured.
