Summer Cooking
With warmer weather comes simpler cooking and less time spent by a hot stove or oven. The warm air also has a way of bringing friends and neighbors together–whether it’s the planned weekend cookout or the impromptu porch gathering. Whatever the setting, it’s nice to have something fresh and delicious to serve and munch on.
These tender-crisp Breton Artisanal Sweet Potato and Grains Crackers make a perfect appetizer base for any occasion. Made with ancient grains like quinoa and rye and sweet potato baked right in, they are delicious on their own but also go well with an array of toppings, including white bean dip with tomatoes and chives.
White bean dip is a simple alternative to hummus. To make it all you need is a can of cannellini beans (or another canned white bean), garlic, fresh lemon juice, and salt. It’s super light and the lemon really brightens it up. Much like the Breton artisanal crackers, this dip is delicious on its own. But pair it with a cracker and a garden fresh, juicy grape or cherry tomato and you have a crowd-pleasing appetizer!
Oh, and let’s not forget the chives. Chives and summer go hand in hand for me. I have a planter with chives on my porch that come back year after year. I love to be able to go out and snip some to sprinkle on anything from poached eggs to salmon to appetizers like this one. They are very easy, low maintenance plants to grow, but you could of course also just pick up fresh chives at your local grocery store.
So bring on the summer and celebration with this simple appetizer. Breton crackers add the perfect light and crispy texture to balance the creamy bean dip and juicy tomatoes. Best of all, this appetizer has a short ingredient list and can be ready in less than 10 minutes!
