Bruschetta of Spicy Wilted Bitter Greens and Homemade Ricotta – Day 2 of the 12 Days of Canapés – 2012

Bruschetta with bitter greens

Okay, here we go with day two!

This is a recipe that we made the other night at our fundraiser and I was so pleased as to how well it was received.

Sometimes when we think of canapés we tend to envision fancy little morsels that are finicky to make and filled with expensive ingredients.

These little bruschetta are rustic, inexpensive to make, pack a flavourful punch and are a breeze to pull together.

If you are not up to making your own ricotta (no judgement here) then just stop by your local deli and pick up a good quality, fresh ricotta.

If you do want to give ricotta making a whirl I promise that it is worth the minimal effort involved. For just a tiny time investment and a few grocery store staples you end up with fluffy, creamy curds that have a slight tang and great depth of flavour. Combined with the spicy bitter greens (in this case arugula) and topped with a thin shaving of Parmigiano Reggiano, you have a little a perfect cocktail party canapé.

    These are lovely. I remember your post about making your own ricotta. That is something I really need to work on.
