Strawberry Bruschetta

6 / 12 / 125 / 11 / 13

When we think of strawberry recipes our minds immediately jump to sweet things like pies, jams and shortcake.  To start off our celebration of strawberries here at delishsis, we decided to start off with something a little unexpected. This strawberry bruschetta is one of our favourite strawberry recipes of all time. It has that element of surprise and totally tastes like a party in your mouth.  It has the perfect amount of sweetness from ripe, freshly picked strawberries that’s balanced by the tangy taste of goat cheese, a drizzle of balsamic, followed by herby fresh basil and the spice of cracked black pepper. All of this on top of a grilled slice of french baguette and you’ve got the perfect summer appetizer that can be whipped up in under 15 minutes! We love it and hope you do too!

INGREDIENTS: makes 12 pieces of bruchetta

  • 12-14 fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1/2 french baguette sliced
  • 4 oz goat cheese
  • olive oil to brush on baguette slices
  • balsamic vinegar for drizzling
  • 4-5 large basil leaves
  • fresh cracked black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

  1. dice strawberries and place in medium mixing bowl
  2. chop basil leaves finely, add to bowl and let stand
  3. slice baguette, brush with oil and grill on BBQ until lightly toasted
  4. once toasted, spread goat cheese on each baguette slice
  5. top with basil & strawberry mixture
  6. drizzle lightly with balsamic vinegar
  7. top with fresh ground black pepper
  8. enjoy!

In Celebration of Strawberries!

6 / 11 / 125 / 11 / 13

If you know anything about the ladies behind delishsis, know this: the Billark sisters LOVE strawberries. To celebrate both the coming of strawberry season and our mutual love for them, we’ve decided to devote the rest of the month here at delishsis to STRAWBERRIES!

We have fond memories of going strawberry picking every June with our Grandmother, a tradition we still have today.  There is nothing quite like the taste of a warmed by the sun, freshly picked, small, sweet Ontario Strawberry and that’s why we usually end up eating more in the field than we carry out of it.

Although sadly, this year we didn’t make it down to Niagara-on-the-Lake for this lovely tradition with Grandma B, we were thrilled that Whittamore’s Farm of Markham, Ontario set up a pop up strawberry stand in our neighbourhood on Roncesvalles at Westminster this weekend. The friendly people from Whittamore’s Farm are going to be there every day  until the end of Strawberry season selling strawberries picked fresh each morning. Isn’t that so awesome ?!

We were busy all weekend creating and shooting sweet, savoury and spicy (yes spicy) Strawberry recipes made to showcase this glorious fruit.  We can’t wait to share them with you in the days and weeks to come! Wondering what to expect? Well, we’re not telling you. You’ll just have to check back tomorrow!
