Ingredients

• sliced homemade bread (about 1 cm thick)
• 1 jar of Lina's artisanal red sauce by Lina Sapori e Delizie
• pitted black olives (sliced or halved)
• salt-cured capers (rinsed under running water)
• extra virgin olive oil
• dried oregano (optional)

Preparation

1. lightly toast the bread slices on a grill, in the oven, or in a pan until golden and crispy

3. arrange the toasted bread slices on a serving platter
4. generously spread the red sauce on each slice of bread
5. scatter the sliced black olives and rinsed capers over the red sauce
6. drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and, if you like, a sprinkle of dried oregano
7. serve the crostini immediately to enjoy the contrast between the crispy bread and the flavorful sauce.

Tips

1. you can rub a clove of garlic on the toasted bread slices before adding the sauce for a more intense flavor
2. fresh chopped basil or parsley can add a touch of freshness to the dish
3. a small shaving of Pecorino Romano or diced feta can further enrich the flavor.
