- To make your tostadas, cut your baguette at an angle and brush with olive oil. To add some colour, toss the tostadas in a preheated frying pan, should only take about 30-seconds.
- Cook them in the oven at 180c until crisp.
- Set tostadas aside and allow to cool.
- For the topping:
- Roast, skin, and seed the peppers.
- Finely chop and purée the garlic cloves.
- Drain the sun dried tomatoes.
- Remove the stalks and chop basil.
- Put the peppers, garlic, sun dried tomatoes and basil into a blender and blend until you have a rustic paste.
- Season paste with some Étaï Organic Sundried Tomato and Roast Garlic Sea Salt and black pepper.
- (If the paste is too wet for your liking add some finely blended pistachio to thicken the consistency.)
- Spread the paste over your tostada and serve.
