2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon roughly chopped flat leaf parsley

Directions

1

To make the crostini, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2

Thinly slice the bread; if a large loaf, cut each piece into quarters and drizzle olive oil over both sides.
3

Lightly toast in the oven until just crisp.
4

If you wish to speed up the process, toast each side under the broiler.
5

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the onion for a few minutes until soft.
6

Add the peppers and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
7

Season with a few grinds of sea salt and black pepper.
8

Add the garlic and cook for a minute more.
9

Add the capers and vinegar and simmer gently for a few minutes to reduce the liquid.

Add the parsley just before spreading onto crostini.
