The French like to cook using small amounts of intensely flavored ingredients, such as balsamic vinegar and goat cheese. Ingredients:
8 cherry tomatoes |
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar |
salt and black pepper |
1/4 cup canned white kidney or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed |
1/2 teaspoon olive oil |
4 large whole-grain crisp crackers |
1 ounce reduced-fat goat cheese, crumbled |
8 baby arugula leaves |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. In an 8- inch square baking dish, toss the tomatoes with the vinegar and salt and pepper to taste until coated. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft, shaking the pan occasionally.
2. In a small bowl, mash the beans and oil to form a thick paste. Top each cracker with white bean paste, 2 warm tomatoes, a sprinkling of cheese, and 2 arugula leaves. Serve.
