DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Note: olivada is an olive spread, sometimes called black olive paste or cream, available at Italian markets and specialty foods stores. If unavailable, used pureed pitted brine-cured black olive.
|

|
|
2:
Char red bell peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Seal roasted bell peppers in paper bag and let stand 10 minutes.
|
|
|
|
3:
Peel and seed bell peppers. Cut bell peppers into 1/2-inch-wide strips.
|
|

4:
Prepare barbecue (medium heat) or preheat broiler. Grill bread until golden brown, watching closely so that bread does not burn, about 2 minutes per side. Spread 1 side of each bread slice with 1 generous teaspoon olivade. Top with bell peppers, then cheese. Season with pepper. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
