Lawry’s On-The-Go Meal Recipe ~ Giveaway

I don’t pretend to be a chef. In fact, I am lucky enough to leave most (if not all) of the cooking to my husband. Otherwise, left to my own devices we’d eat a steady diet of the same few meals over and over! LOL.

But this summer I accepted Lawry’s challenge and joined forces with five other local bloggers to create an “On-the-go” meal created using Lawry’s products – specifically the Lawry’s Balsamic Herb Marinade, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt Marinade and Lawry’s Seasoned Salt . The results, thanks to input from the whole team, is a three-part meal that can be served up for the family in about 40 minutes.

The appetizer – Crostini with white-bean spread, arugula and prosciutto – total time, under 10 minutes including prep
(Makes 20-30 appetizers, depending on size of your baguette)

Created by: Leigh from Theme Park Mom and Melanie from Modern Mami

Ingredients:

• 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch thick slices
• 1 can cannelini beans (or other white bean, such as Great Northern)
• 2 T. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. Lawry’s Seasoned Salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• Baby arugula (about 1/2 cup)
• Thinly-sliced prosciutto (about 1/4 pound)

Step 1 – Toast your bread slices on both sides. This can be done in an oven, or the Florida summer method, which doesn’t require heating up the oven: Heat a dry skillet over medium high heat. Add bread slices and toast for about 30 seconds per side. Watch closely so they don’t burn.

Step 2 – Make the white bean spread. Drain the liquid from the can of beans. Add to a food processor and puree. Add olive oil, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and pepper and process until well blended.

Step 3 – Assemble the crostini. Spread about 2 tsp. of the bean spread on each baguette. Top with 3-4 pieces of baby arugula and a small slice of the prosciutto.
